How to Determine Tongue Weight of a 2004 Dutchmen Sport 26 Foot Travel Trailer
Question:
I have 2004 26dutchmen sport with a full slide out trying to find out my tongue weight
asked by: Scott E
Expert Reply:
It looks like the 2004 Dutchmen Sport 26 footer has a gross weight of 6,720 pounds but I can't say if that is the gross weight or the dry weight.
Tongue weight is usually 10 to 15 percent of the gross trailer weight. So for a trailer that weighs 6,720 pounds that would make the tongue weight 672 to 1,008 pounds.
I have included a link to our help article that explains how to determine tongue weight. I recommend a tongue weight scale, # e99044.
