What does "hitch" specs really mean?

Thanks. And did weigh front and rear axles on separate pads. Will do the same on second trip for that reason (and TT on third pad). Worked up some formulas using readings on each axle, including TT, so that when I plug the numbers in, it shows me where I fall on specs for both TV and TT.

Here's a second problem neither the TV dealer or hitch specialist could answer. According to TV specs, it's possible to be over cargo max, but be under GVWR for TV. When I add dry weight of TV to cargo max, the total comes up less than the TV GVWR. I would think they would be the same. Go figure...
