How Did I Do?

So had the truck and trailer weighted. 2014 F150 ecoboost and Keystone Cougar 26RBI. Trailer is loaded with normal supplies and equipment. How am I doing?
F150 GVWR is 7100lbs and actual weight is 6760
Front GAWR is 3600lbs and actual weight is 3500
Rear GAWR is 4050lbs and actual weight is 3260
Trailer Axles rear is 5900lbs
Hitch weight is 870lbs w distbution hitch and 820 without distribution hitch.
Total weight truck and Trailer 12660lbs
Trailer Weight unhitched is 6520lbs
RV 40 gallon water tank is empty and we typically travel empty.

Trailer Shipping weight is 6100lbs with dry hitch weight of 710lbs and carrying capacity of 1700lbs and 30ft long including hitch.

I'm confused about your hitch weights. Are you saying the WDH is adding weight to your hitch weight? The purpose of the WDH is to transfer weight from the hitch to the truck front axles and the trailer axles. If you just reversed the numbers, 50 lbs of transfer isn't much, should be a couple hundred lbs at least coming off of the hitch weight. Everything else looks good, but your front axle weight could go over with the WDH adjusted.

I realized after the post that both me and my dad where standing on the front axle pad when we weighted and should have been sitting in the truck instead. So should take a good 200lbs off the front axle is put in the rear if we where actually sitting in the truck.

For the hitch weight the distribution hitch itself weights 50lbs. Probably should have just said 870lbs hitch weight.

The trailer is fully loaded? Dry is 6100 and weighed it's 6520. You're fully loaded with 420 lbs.? Food, kitchen utensils, fresh water stuff, sewer stuff, chocks, leveling equip., clothes, shoes, toiletries, tools, ??? Unless you travel with just a coffee pot and sleeping bag that seems a little off.

You don't list the payload of your truck from the sticker. You may be Ok in that respect which is usually the Achilles tendon of a 1/2 ton. Overall it looks like you are pretty good - you just might want to throw in a few more clothes depending on where you camp

What's the GCWR of the truck?

Not sure - what does the sticker look like on the drivers side door.

Stay withing GVWR not the axle limits.

Mine - if I follow the axle limit I will exceed the GVWR

My weight at the cat scales with my previous trailer.
Steer Axle - 4900 lbs

Drive Axle - 6060 lbs

Trailer Axle - 9220 lbs

Gross Weight - 20,180 lbs
