[VAC] Re: 1964 Globe Trotter Weight



Hitch weight depends a great deal on balance. Just the weight of the LP
tanks and their contents can account for nearly 100 pounds of hitch
weight. Then the water in the fresh water tank has a big effect. That's
only counterbalanced by black water after a while on the road if the
black water tank is at the rear. Beyond that the balance depends on the
distribution of the cabinets and the provisions in the cabinets. Better
to have a bit heavy tongue than a bit light one. The trailer with the
bit light tongue weight tends to trail reluctantly trying to head its
own directions.
