Street Side- - Refridgerator (70#)
- Water tank (20 gallons - 160#)
- Water heater (6 gallons - 55#)
- Toilet (6 gallons - 45#)
- 2 Trojen 105 batteries (120#)
Curb Side-
Excluting cabnetry (Which i think would be fairly equaly ballances) it seems to me that the TM is VERY street heavy loaded 735# vs 25#. Even with everything empty the distribution is still off ballance.
If this is the case, best be rotating those tires often!
Or am I missing something. |
You have a good point.
What you/we may want to do is park our trailers on level ground and measure the distance from the ground to the bottom of the frame. That should give use a pretty good indication of the balance of the trailer load.
