The reason I continue to post to threads like this is because since this an open forum, other "new folks" may actually be reading. They may in fact be able to learn a few things by seeing the many sides of the discussion.
I've said it over and over on this and other forums, "the scales tell the truth". We see it again and again where folks just want to guess on setups, like weight distributing hitches, real world tongue weights, etc. My opinion is, that "guessing" is all they are doing until they pull the whole thing over the scales.
You can argue a lot of different points, but what you cannot do is argue against the numbers. Honestly, I think lot of folks really do not want to go to the scales, because then they may in fact be faced with admitting their numbers simply do not work for the real world of safe operation.
Best we can do is try to pass some of our hard earned experience on to open minded new folks that want to get into the fun of actually going camping and traveling.
Well put.
