etrailer Campers and Utility Trailers Tongue Weight Scale Review

[@steveclement7791]

You are saying that 100lbs of tongue weight is the sweet spot for the 730lb four-wheeler payload. Shouldn't your tongue weight be between 10 and 15% of the gross weight? (trailer + cargo)

You guys didn’t figure in the weight of the trailer ?? Why? At 100 lbs you’re still to light on the tongue. Tongue weight should be figured off of gross weight of the trailer. If I had to guess that trailer weighs about 2k and the atv at 730 puts you at 2730 so should be 273-410 lbs. people go to etrailer with the expectation that you guys are experts….. do better

So with my weight distribution bars connected and camper connected to my truck with scale in place how do you determine the weight? If you use jack to lift up the tongue to put pressure on scale that is also reading the vehicle weigh also? Or am I missing something?

This tongue jack scale is designed to measure the tongue weight before weight distribution is hooked up. This scale will help you to determine how much tongue weight you have so you can move stuff in the trailer forward and rearward. www.etrailer.com/Tongue-Weight-Scale/etrailer/e99044.html
