Just purchased a used Starcraft Pop-up Camper to pull behind our 2017 Pathfinder. Dry weight 3440. Overall weight of the trailer does not seem to be a problem, but this camper has a very heavy tongue weight. Just had a weight distribution hitch installed, which raised the rear 2" and smooths the ride. Also has trailer brakes with controller. BUT the installer said the tongue weight is at 600# - which is the max rating for the PF. This camper has a carrier area on the front that places the rear axle further back than most Pop-ups, resulting in this problem.
Just driving across town empty, it feels just fine and it looks good. But I'm now concerned about even a small amount of additional weight, like the weight of our bikes, added to the trailer. Does anyone here have experience with heavier TW, with WDH on their 2017 PF?
Thank you!
