Hi Everyone,
I searched the forum for this topic but I couldn't come up with the answer I was looking for.
Basically I'm confused about the GVWR on the trailer. When you weigh the trailer do you take the weight at the scale and add the tongue weight back in? Or do you go off of what the trailer axles are really carrying?
For example if your tongue weight is 1,000 lbs is that weight counted against the payload of the trailer or is it the opposite? My initial thinking is that the axle weights PLUS the tongue weight is what you subtract from the GWVR on the sticker to determine the left over payload.
Which way is the right way?
