The storage lot for our TT opened up this week and I was able to get to it yesterday. I deployed the better weigh device and was absolutely shocked at the results. We bought the TT in February, put it in storage and then the pandemic hit. We didn’t even have the chance to load it with our stuff. Given that it’s empty, 9058 lbs, the only additional weight should be the propane tanks which are full. The factory advertises the tongue weight as 1130 lbs, it ended up being 1400 lbs. I had about 100 lbs of gear in the bed, the wife and I were outside. Pretty amazing discrepancy from what the factory estimate is. Of course that was without the weight distribution hitch bars on. I’m also having air bags installed this week and will update the math once I do. That much weight caused the suspension to squat almost 3 full inches. Goes to show you how much the WDH works for you.
I was impressed with the Better Weigh, I had calibrated it and then removed it. I put it back in the OBDC and found there’s no need to recalibrate, it held its zero. Pretty amazing device. Will definitely be useful when we load it for weight and distribution to make sure we don’t get it too heavy on the front.
