Thank for taking the time to help the rest of us. My friend has one of those scales on hitch which seems usefu but I don’t think I’ve seen one that incorporates the WDH. Seems just shifting some trailer weight and how in the world you would ever really know the hitch weight with a tongue scale to see how the trailer is balanced when pulling off. Know this is just my head trying to wrap it around this. So if Ginger is 10900 seems that you should be closer to 1100 hitch which puts you under even with that 300 cargo in truck. Asking because I’m understanding that the hitch weight should be 10 to 15 trailer weight. Did you weigh Ginger and are those weights on spreadsheet those with true tongue hitch weight or were you using Ginger sticker numbers.
I acually have another hundred and something pound cargo probably because I’m at the Lariat value only package. So it looks like my truck traveling with you. Wish I could have gotten it but wasn’t going with 8 ft bed. I have same truck as you without that 48 gallon tank. Seems curb weight on door would be without fluids. Been learning all of this before we venture out hopefully this year. Keep up the good work - understanding the fifth wheel connection may allow you pull a slightly larger fifth wheel that you though and keep your truck legal this is due to the moment of the bumper pull hitch transferring more weight to the rear axle by unloading the front axle - the fifth wheel connection places the weight on the rear axle without unloading the front axle so that more usual distribution results in greater towing contemplating GCVW - however very smart that you recognized that most RV companies basically supply you a travel trailer that is at its capacity EMPTY - we do hurricane support and due to this fact we have converted refrigerated semi trailers into RV so that capacity is not an issue - this also eliminated our wheel and tire and bearing issues. Trailer hitch weight rating you where quoting contemplates a bumper pull ratings ….
When considering pulling a fifth wheel the tongue weight transfers to the axle directly (if standard length bed) short bed may place the the hitch slightly behind the axle.
