There are 4 sections:
Section 1 - truck and hitch setup, trailer.
2018 Nissan Titan SV 4x4 crew cab with Roadmaster Active Suspension HD set at 40%.
2020 Grand Design 2600rb
Equalizer round bar WDH, 1000# bars, 5 ½ washers. This is the front fender measurements when adjusting the hitch.
Truck only 36 ½"
Trk/trlr no bars 37"
Bars w/ 5 ½ washers 36 ½"
With 5 ½ washers I was able to get the weight distribution set so I came back down to the measurement I started with, giving me the most weight distribution without going over.

Stear axle 3480
Rear axle 2620
Total 6100
Minus passengers 330

Trailer 6860
Tongue 840
Tongue % 12.2%
Section 4 - max weights compared to actual weights. This will be listed as:
Max weight, actual weight, (difference/under)
Nissan Titan
Stear 3800, 3400, (400)
Drive 4012, 3600, (412)
GVWR 7300, 7000, (300)
GCWR 15300, 13160, (2140)
Tow capacity 9230, 6860, (2370)
Hitch capacity 923, 840, (83)
Cargo capacity 1488, 1390 (98)
Actual tongue %, 12.2%
Grand Design 2600rb
Combined axle 8800, 6860, (1940)
GVWR 7850, 6860, (990)
In conclusion, full and ready for camping including 3 nights worth of firewood but no fresh water. All weights are below the maximum allowed although some by just a little bit. Both me and Mrs skreef thought it towed decently but I do feel the 2600rb is at the upper limit for what my truck can tow.
