on my recent trip i pulled into a truck scale and found out my gcwr was 640 lbs over weight. i tow a 2017 TQ325 with a 2008 ford f250 super duty. i purchased a Sherline (LM5) 5th Wheel Trailer Hitch Weight Scale to find out the weight on the 5th wheel hitch. it read 3050 lbs. seems a little high to me. that makes the actual weight of the trailer at 14620 and with the 15% ruler the weight should 2193 on the hitch. the max of the trailer is 16250 which should put the hitch weight at 2437. so, is he 15% just a guide to estimating the hitch weight?
i didn't have my 900 lb motorcycle in the garage, would this help alleviate some of the weight on the hitch?
the weight sheet from the scale should the following weight:
front axle 5610
rear axle 6660
trailer axles 11620
total axles 23640
any help is appreciated
