Will MORryde RV Cargo Sliding Tray Add To Trailer Tongue Weight
Question:
I was looking at the MO Rryyde cargo sliding tray MR69FR .I see that on a different question you said it weighs about 139 Lb I currently have a dry hitch weight of 810 lb using a blue OX BXWo753 sway pro weight distributing hitch. with spring bars rated at 750lb If I add the sliding tray to my front storage compartment in my travel trailer would I have to add 139 lb to my dry hitch weight? If the answer is yes Do I need to change my spring bars?

It really depends on the design of your trailer. I would expect the # MR69FR to add to the tongue weight but it may not be the full 139 lbs. However, if you're telling me that your dry tongue weight is already higher than the rating of the # BXW0753 then it is safe to say you should go ahead and upgrade the spring bars, especially if you're adding the sliding tray.
The next size up has a tongue weight range of 750-1,000 lbs so it will be more effective than what you're using now. You will need the Replacement Spring Bars for Blue Ox SwayPro Weight Distribution System - 1,000 lbs TW # BXW4007.
