ehoefler, the tongue weight of the trailer was listed as 788 pounds, I had the dealership install a second battery which they did on the tongue. The hitch is a Husky centerline with 800-1200 pound rating. Dealership installed the hitch when we picked up the camper so it had nothing in it when installed. Now that its loaded I think I need to adjust the brackets for the bars as the rear of the vehicle squats a bit, but I don't know if that is enough to remove the excess weight from the rear axle.
The head is rated for the 800-1200 pounds, which means it can be used with either 800, 1000, or 1200 pound bars, which bars do you have?? My guess, 800. You need 1000 pound bars. The bars are not rated for the tongue weight, they are rated for how much to transfer.
