Re: increasing tongue weight
My rear slide is intragrated into bumper, so nothing extra there, dont want to mess up the slide. Appreciate the suggestions. will probably leave as is since its towing ok. Not sure how to drop front anymore, ball is in lowest position on shank. Thanks.506Views0likes0CommentsRe: increasing tongue weight
Not really having any real issues towing, just feel (in my head) that a little more tongue weight would make a better tow. Trailer tows level. I have front bunks and their loaded with gear, and my front storage is loaded. Have thought about getting an a frame bike rack just to add some weight. I would have to add 110lbs to tongue weight to get up to 12%, which sounds like im gonna have to add approx 200lbs to achieve that. Planning on getting new trailer next year, so this may be all a moot point, thanks everybody for the replies.505Views0likes0Commentsincreasing tongue weight
Hey everyone, not new to forum, but new to posting. Usually lurk in background and soak up knowledge. I tried a search but didnt find anything, but i would like to increase my tongue weight. According to cat scale numbers i`m right at 10%. Would like to bump up to 12-13%. Feel like it would ride better. I've moved everything i can to front of camper, water tank is at rear of camper, do adding water is out. I have a rear slide on camper, so i have extra weight back there. Is there a direct corelation between adding weight and increasing tongue weight? Ie adding one hundred pounds to front of camper increases tongue weight by 100 lbs? Or is it more of a percentage? Or dependent on weight location? Anyway, what are some feasable ways of adding some weight? Thanks4.1KViews0likes18Comments
