Right , 2880 was the weight on the tires. The scale was so busy, they would not do unhitched trailer weight. I am not concerned about total weight anyway - just want to know what the tires are carrying and keep the ratio of weight to total capacity low.

I have weighed my tongue weight several times using a couple different scales and it always comes up around 600 pounds. I did it by using a small scale and a lever. I thought it was heavy too. It may be that Padgett is weighing his loaded with weight in the back - generator. Mine is empty with 2 full gas bottles.
