Richard,

You're correct - most likely your LOADED tongue weight is 'over' 1000 lbs. How much over 1000 lbs...?... is anyone's guess.
The only way to get an exact tongue weight (loaded as usual & ready to camp) is to take the trailer to a scale. Is there a CAT
scale in your area? Another option is to calculate an *estimate* based on the trailer's GVWR of 9500 lbs.
9,500 x 13% (average/estimate, loaded tongue weight) = 1235 lbs

If this is a new/recent purchase, maybe the dealer would exchange the WDH (or the bars) for the next size?

Terri, the Chevy co-pilot
