    Tongue Weight - can of worms

    It seems like a good day to open a can of worms. Just for fun times, I decided to take my camper to the local CAT scales to see the outcomes. This was because the general consensus with the online community is that an f150 can tow a pop up; everything else requires a 250 or above. The second...

    Storing TT weight on tongue jack?

    ~Lippert Electric Tongue Jack~ It seems to me that storing our travel trailer (in winter or between trips) with the full tongue weight (600 lbs?) resting on the tongue jack would place an undue stress/burden on the jack. I have been using concrete blocks and 4X4s to support the tongue frame and...

    How much is too much tongue weight on a single axle?

    I have determined that my average level state tongue weight is 400lbs. To me this seems a little high on a 3850 gvwr single axle rig. I do use an eq hitch so that does decrease the load shocks somewhat but I would like to bring it down a little just the same if at all possible. I will be...
