[QUOTE="Stacy Waldrep 2, post: 1022684, member: 72496"] I measured my tongue weight tonight and it's exactly what the brochure says. Dry tongue weight is 880lbs.....on a 4514lb camper. Guess I won't be pulling that with my Sport Trac. Heck, after being loaded, the tongue weight may be too high for a 1/2 ton pickup.....on a 24' camper, which isn't a very large camper. I just can't believe that a dual axle camper only 24' long and 4514lbs would have a tongue weight which is 19.5% of the overall weight. Can't believe that Dutchmen made it that way. I've always heard it should be between 10% and 15%. I would think they would design the camper that way from the factory not almost 20%. [/QUOTE]
