Thanks for posting that video. I had seen it before but forgot about it and just used it in another thread where it fits perfectly into the discussion here.

Fixed the title from "Weight Distribution" to "Tongue Weight" to try to clear that up. Thanks.

Hi,

Here on the towing forum, the words "weight distribution" make us think of the weight distribution hitch between the camper and the truck.

In this case, the video is showing the effect of how a loaded camper tongue weight affects stability of the camper and tow vehicle. Yes, the weight distribution of having the proper trailer tongue weight balance per the trailer gross weight is not correct.

It is a good video to help show the point. Thanks for sharing this. It should help many visualize the problem.

Thanks
