Eric- I don't want to sidetrack your thread, but I have a related question. Before considering a weight-distributing hitch, is there an ideal tongue weight (expressed in weight on tongue or as some fraction of weight of loaded trailer)? I've experienced too little tongue weight with the rear engined lakester loaded facing forward on a single axle open trailer. I improved it by moving the trailer axle rearward, but I just guessed at a distance to move it.
