I've since rearranged stuff and added stuff to take some weight off left & right rear, moving and adding to genny room and front basement. I've most like ly added about 300# midway between the pin and front axle. So if my math is right, I added ~150 to pin. Still under the 3,360. War on folks ---  |
Remember, your pin weight is a percentage of your LOADED trailer weight not the GVWR. If your rig actually weighs 16,800, you could go as high as 4,200lbs pin weight (assuming your truck has the cargo capacity).
The only way to know for sure is to know your trucks GVWR, your trucks actual weight, remaining available Cargo Capacity of the truck and your RVs actual weight. Trip to the scales.
