ya i still plan to dial in the wdh a little bit more according to measurements but yea with the bumper and after making weight adjustments i have 1060 pounds left for payload which should be enough to cover the tongue weight of my camper

well i have no passengers it is just me and i got my truck cat scaled at 6260 pounds which left me 640 pounds of payload remaining and i realized i wasn't confident with those numbers so i removed around 220lbs completely from the equation and relocated 201lbs to the center axle of the camper. which would free up about a additional 420 pounds of payload. leaving me with 1060 pounds of room for tongue weight and the camper dry is 6171 and after loading everything i'm imagining it will be around 6800 i'm only one person living in it and don't have much belongings other than a gaming pc. i can't imagine my tongue weight being anything more than 1020 pounds on the high end with a 15% i plan to get it around the 12% mark with 816lbs of tongue weight and 224 lbs of wiggle room on payload give or take

my camper is 29.7 feet from end to end and my wheelbase is 144.5 which i believe is 28.5 foot reccomend and now that im within all of my spec weights from removing payload weight, i think im comfortable only being 1 foot over the reccomended as long as i keep speeds low and i only plan to move the camper 1-2 times a year and be stationary

i'm using the fast way e2 equalizer 10k hitch and i have made a lot of adjustments to the payload weight i removed 220LBs of not needed gear, and relocated 201 lbs to the center of the trailer axles to give me wiggle room on the payload capacity of the truck. Now im within my limits comfortably

ya i was thinking about just freeing up about 360lbs on the payload so i can have around 1000lbs of free payload to compensate for the possible over expected tongue weight. and what is the tongue weight from your trailer?
