Re: Hitch weight
I haven't done it with our 30R yet, but the easiest way is to take a trip to the scales at a truck stop. Get at least 3 readings with the trailer LOADED and ready to travel--1st reading with weight distribution engaged; 2nd reading with weight distribution not engaged; and a 3rd reading for the TV o...

Re: Tow Vehicle Weight Ratings
I once towed a trailer that almost got away from me. I was going down a hill and the trailer wanted to go first.

Re: Brakes Locking Up
So I spoke with Tekonsha today and they are having me mail in my brake controller so they can test it. Apparently this issue can be caused by a bad computer board.
