Scaled the rig today......
I thought it would weigh more, but I grossed 12,000# truck and trailer. (Empty water and black tank, full propane)
3200# Truck Front Axle (4500#)
3500# Truck Rear Axle (6084#)
5300# Airstream Tandems (7000#)
Numbers in parenthesis are mfg's ratings. Truck GVW is 9200, and the F & R add up to 10,584. I don't understand why, but that is what is on the door sticker.
This was with a plain ball hitch, no WD. My WD hitch is still 2" to high, so I cannot use it with this trailer.
On a side note, I can adjust my Jordan till it is at 13.8 amps all the way up, but I seem to have plenty of stopping power at 4-5 amps. I adjusted the brakes until I could not rotate the tires by hand, the backed it off 20 clicks.
