But may I add something to the GVWR part??. The tongue weight (and adjusted tongue weight if using a WDH) is another thing that needs to be added to the total load of the TV.

Thanks for a great post.

That's correct and the GAWR needs to be looked at also. None of the vehicles or equipment ratings can be exceeded.

A WDH should not be taken lightly. If you exceed the front GAWR by using this devise, the result could be damaged suspension parts. A lot of people don't understand or figure in the stress that a WDH places on the TV.

Anything short of taking your total tow package to the scales, fully loaded, is guessing.
