Good for you for weighing your rig. You are commended for doing this. "Stuff" adds up. And until you weigh it, it can really fool you. It always seems to weigh more than you think. 20# here, 30# there, it all adds up.
And the only true way to know if your WD is set up in the optimized condition is to weigh the rig loaded ready to go camping.
Ideally weigh the rig in 3 passes axle by axle.
Once, TV and TT hooked up with WD bars on.
Once, TV and TT hooked up WD bars off.
Once TV only, TT unhooked. ( during the same weighing trip)
Then you can do some math to see if the WD is optimized and if all weights are at or under the manf. ratings;
You get a tongue load
Axle loads to compare to axle limits
Your TV gross weight to compare to your GVWR
TT weight to compare to your TT GVWR
Your Gross combined weight.
I have a heavy tongue with my camper layout and the “stuff” I have in it. Until I hit the scales. I never realized it could get that high. “Stuff” adds up.
I do not have the 276SR, but do have weights on the T2499.
Happy Camping
John
