So what you are saying is that the manufacturer lied about the dry tongue weight (of 9 percent) 350 lb and you are correct about it being 14 percent.
Of course I'm correct! :W No need to be dramatic, the factory has no need to "lie" as the factory dry weight of this particular trailer could easily be 9%. So what? ... it's the trailer's gross tongue weight relative to it's gross weight loaded and ready to camp that's important, the ideal target being 13% to 14%. Currently I'm running closer to 13% but would prefer a bit more, closer to 14%, as I've proven to myself over the years that more is better, yet 14% still allows a reasonable buffer to a max of 15% those times I may run a little heavy.
