Any conclusions or adjustments from trip to scale?

[concretewolf]

I have been running this set up for two years now, just ran it all across the scales.
20 JT
Reese WDH
23' Stampede by Palamino two axle camper

Truck and camper:
Truck front axle 2,640 weighed on scale
Truck back axle 3,300 correct?
Truck both axles 5,940 weighed on scale
Truck and camper, all four axles 10,100 weighed on scale

Truck without camper:
Front axle 2,860 weighed on scale
Back axle 2,390 correct?
Both axles 5,250 weighed on scale

Therefore:
Tongue weight 690 correct? (5,940-5,250)
Camper weight 4,850 correct? (10,100-5,250)



What conclusions and or adjustments can I draw or make from this?
It seems as if the WDH is not doing it's job of transferring weight to the front axle of the truck?

Did you follow Buzz Aldrin's instructions?

 

[concretewolf]

Yes, I watched Buzz and followed all the Reese instructions. I followed them to the T. My neighbors probably thought I was nuts, I had the whole set up out on the road where it is flat and made what I thought were the correct adjustments. I even had ballast in the truck to simulate my passengers!

What's the "rating" of your WDH? 500# bars? or 1000# bars?

Your calculations look correct. Is that with the WDH bars connected? Do you have a third measurement of all axles without the WDH bars engaged? That would tell you how much weight is being distributed.
