Tongue weight & equalizer
I am buying a Ultra Lite 2702ws which has a tongue weight of 800 pounds. My dealer says that an equalizer will be able to reduce the tongue weight in half. Does this seem correct?
the WDH will transfer/redistribute to the TT axles which is typically in the 15% to 25% of the dead tongue wt.Incorrect--TW has no bearing. It could be 1000 lb, or it could be zero. The amount transferred depends solely on the spring bars. Your TW scale, btw, would show an increased load on the hitch ball, rather than a reduced load.
