How to Determine the Pin Weight of a Fifth Wheel Trailer

What is the tongue weight of a fleetwood prowlwer 29ft. ?
asked by: Doreen
Expert Reply:
The best way to find the pin weight of your fifth wheel trailer is to use a commercial scale like those at truck stops or at material supply centers. First you should weigh your tow vehicle without the trailer connected. Next, connect your trailer to your tow vehicle and drive it on the scale. The difference between the two weights is the tongue weight. You will want to make sure you trailer will be loaded as it normally would be when towing to get an accurate number.
The Convert-A-Ball Cushioned Adapter, # CAB-C5GX1216, has a tongue weight capacity of 2,000 lbs.
