Tandem Axle Weight Distribution Calculation
Ok... it's snowing and freezing rain here so I was sketching out my trailer w/ the sleeper/camper on the front looking to calculate my tongue weight with different loading scenarios. I know the weights of the trailer and major components and was doing some simple calculations. I am using the mounting point for the center bar pivot thing in the middle of the 2 springs... Is this correct ?
Or should I somehow factor in 25,50,25 based on the leaf mounting points ?
Or possibly just the 2 axle center lines.. (ex. if it were a single axle the CL would be used)
Any ideas... just curious..
