Please correct me if I am wrong here, with the 1000lbs receiver limit, how does that translate to 'dry hitch weight'. On the Eagle TT the dry hitch weight (lbs) is '903'...?
Assuming the TV has a class IV receiver hitch, with a weight distribution hitch wouldn't that increase it over 1000lbs?
The 1,000# rating is already assuming you are using weight distribution. Without WD, it is only good for 600 pounds of tongue weight and 5,000 pounds total weight.
Also, be careful with dry weights. It does not include any options. Many trailers now have "mandatory" options which is really just a way to cheat the numbers in their brochures. This often includes things like awnings and microwave. Also, none of the trailer include propane tanks or batteries as those are dealer installed items. A trailer with a "dry" tongue weight of 900 pounds will most likely end up being 1200 pounds or more, and thats before packing or filling the water tank!
