Answer 11

To choose a weight distribution system you will need to go by the total tongue weight of the set up. This is calculated by taking the tongue weight of the trailer, when loaded and ready to tow, and adding to that the weight of anything loaded behind…

Answer 12

Thanks for being so specific and I can safely say you will need spring bars with a higher capacity because a loaded trailer will add enough to that tongue weight to make the 1,500 lb bars you have not rated highly enough. For a camper trailer with a…
