My 31ft has torsion axles. with his type of axle you can really adjust the weight on your hitch by raising or lowering your hitch. If you want less tongue weight lower the ball height.

The WDH really made a huge difference. Next target is the propane tanks but I think that'll be about it - still very heavy on the tongue but from what I've been reading it doesn't seem unusual.

By doing that you are adding unbalanced weight loads on the axles. The trailer needs to be level. Or am I missing something here.

I don't know where you came up with this theory. When you lower the hitch from a level position you transfer a lot of weight to the front axle and tires on that axle. Many of the blowouts are caused by this condition as you have overloaded the tire and the temp of the tire goes way up. The proper way to adjust the hitch is to adjust the ball height to the same height as the level trailer hitch when unhitched. After hitching up you adjust the weight distribution hitch to bring the RV and tow vehicle back to level. This gives you equal weight on your RV and TV tires. Look up the owners manuals online for any of the WD hitches to verify this.

i know the battery i bought for mine i can't even pick up
i too had some roof leaks but no smell ever....love that i pull mine with a 90 crown vic wagon 5.0=302 with normal suspension without the WDH that came with it ...surely the back end would rub on the wheels lol plus putting heavier gear in the back of the wagon over the wheels before i apply the the WDH TO LEVEL IT i get better mileage and pull long grades easier i have standard 20 lbs tanks which i love because you can exchange then anywhere...bigger tanks have to have different inspections in different states to be filled....and your limited to fill stations just my two cents love my Hilo susie in fenton mo |
