Hi

I just weighed a 5th wheel (not a Keystone) and Dodge 3500 SRW to determine why the trailer was steering the truck.

The weighing had nothing to do with your question but in the process of weighing the truck & trailer then the truck then the trailer I would guess in your configuration the weight transfer would be to the trailer axles.

I would further guess that it wouldn’t be a great deal of weight.

FYI the result of the above trailer problem was the king pin was located aft of the centerline of the rear axle of the truck due to the type of hitch being changed without moving the bed rails.

We corrected the towing problem by filling the potable water tank that is located in front of the axles and that corrected the problem. It just can’t be towed without water in the potable water tank.
