34TSB Tongue Weight
Can anyone provide clarification on the tongue weight of a travel trailer? The dealership sold me a Huskey Centerline weight distribution hitch with bars rated for 800-1200 lbs however the specs of the Cougar 34TSB trailer show a hitch weight of 1150lbs. My question is is that weight the unloaded weight or loaded weight. I know the 60 gallon fresh water tank is up front so if full would that be adding an additional 500lbs to the hitch weight? Plus the weight of our gear loaded into the front compartment along with the propane tanks and battery seems like an extreme amount of hitch weight. The trailer weighs around 8100 unloaded. I just want to make sure I’m safe and not overloading the hitch or my truck’s receiver hitch. I pull it with a 2005 Ram 2500 Cummins.
Thank you.
