Let a new guy have an opportunity to understand what they are getting into, make them feel welcome and maybe guide them to sub-sections of the forum where they can learn about their rig and capabilities and ask questions, etc. This is an area where people are just saying hi and introducing themselves to the forum. They are not coming on here asking you to educate them.

Give it a rest......

I see in your last few posts you must have an axe to grind with the "weight" police and have your personal views on how weight issues, or possibly weight "dangers", should or should not be approached.

If you will read the OP's original post you might note that his last comment was "any tips that you can give would be greatly appreciated". I have bolded "any"; the OP didn't say "please just say hi", "don't talk about possible weight issues", "don't tell me how to determine if my weights are safe" etc. He said ANY POSSIBLE issues - you determined the other comments should be the case.

George saw what could be a possible weight issue, which most that know weights can see. Most newbies, might even say virtually all, have no idea how weights work or if they are safe or not. The goal is to keep "that" (any) new family safe - period. Keep that in mind before you decide to try to start chastising folks for violating some personally perceived process.

BTW OP welcome to the forum and congrats on the new rig. As you can already tell we have a great concern for new folks getting into towing larger trailers and want to keep them safe. New folks join almost daily and the lack of knowledge on weights and their bearing on safe towing can be dangerous. We want to keep you and yours safe so take anything you deem worthwhile from the commentary that you will receive. Welcome aboard and ask away with questions or concerns; we have lots of helpful, knowledgeable folks.
