Re: Weight and WD number check in aisle 4.
Bret thanks for following this thread and offering your knowledge. Looks like I should get a new receiver. I am debating on paying some or doing it myslef. I did install one on my old 97 Ford but that didn't have an oem harness attached to the receiver. Did you have to replace wiring or were you able to get a mount for your oem wiring?593Views0likes0CommentsRe: Weight and WD number check in aisle 4.
Thank you for taking the time to do these calculations! I am confused by how you came to the tongue weight measurements. If the bars weigh 100# you said tongue would be 1140# and if #50 it would be 1190# and 150# it would be 1090# and 200# it would be 1040. I am not sure how that worked out that way?594Views0likes0CommentsWeight and WD number check in aisle 4.
Took my new to me truck wnd my TT to the scales yesterday to get some numbers. TT and Truck with WD. Steer Axle 4040# Drive Axle 4280# Trailer 7320# Total 15640# TT and truck with no WD, bars disconnected and still in head. Steer Axle 3620# Drive Axle 4880# Trailer 7160# Total 15660# Truck only without hitch head and bars in bed. I may have goofed by not having them? Truck Steer Axle 4120# Drive Axle 3140# Total 7260# Now I never got a chance to adjust the WD setup. I basically picked up TT from winter storage and drove to the scales that were on the way home. When I saw it on the scale I noticed it had a definite nose down attitude on the trailer when hitched so I am not sure if that could influence tongue weight. I did raise the ball up on the shank by a hole..about an inch. The truck is a Ford F350 xlt with a crew cab with 6.8 V10 Nothing in the truck, no people no real cargo. TT had most of the gear in it for the season but no clothing, water or food. We don't travel with much water, couple gallons. The TT is a Heartland 30USBH. The WD hitch is a Equalizer 1400/14000# setup. The receiver is the stock 1250/12500#. This seems to be the number I am most concerned with as I am worried about tongue weight.3.5KViews0likes13CommentsRe: Need a battery. Never boondock. Recommendations?
Thanks all I went with a $75 dollar one from Walmart. I should have looked at getting a Costco card. Did I overcharge it? Maybe..not intentionally if I did, but I got a few years out of it and it was just the one that came with the TT.612Views0likes0Comments
