I have weighed it several times over the last couple of year
I know how to do what you suggested and have done it 2-3 times. However, we are considering buying a new MS and wanted to know how my original pin wt compares to the new ones to give us some idea about what our loaded pin wt would be on a new one. Right now I have 4000# on the pin.
We toured the factory recently and two of us on the tour suggested that they move the axles 6" or so forward of their current location to unload some of the pin wt. However, the "sales" rep conducting the tour had no answer for that and we haven't received a reply to that question since we left.
Our trailer weighs 16,600 (last year in Cheyenne) which means we have 25% of the wt on the pin. I talk to a lot of other 5er's on the road and other trailer owners we have talke to have no more than 15-20% on the pin.
We love our MS and they are best built trailer on the market. Our biggest problem is the pin wt as we don't want to go to a Freightliner or Volvo tractor to pull it with.
Thanks for your input.
