Question:
If youre using a Fastway weight distribution hitch, I understand the ball assembly counts against the vehicle payload. Does the weight of the spring arm count against the vehicle payload as well? Or once the spring arms are engaged, is a portion of the spring arm weight attributed to the trailer since they are now resting on the L brackets on the trailer? Im just trying to confirm that Ive accounted for everything in my vehicle payload when towing.
