I made a "visual" weight distribution calculator in excel.
it doesn't take into account the difference in the trailers own weight throughout the trailer so if anyone has base line percentages that will increase its accuracy.
I made it more for a camping trailer for loading up or building the inside and wanting to see how placing different items such as the shower, toilet, beds, cabinets, etc affected the tongue weight based on where i would place them. but it should work for any trailer really.
Now, it is only set up right now for a 27 foot trailer but i will likely make it scalable for any length trailer with some more formulas in the future.
so, before you yell at me and tell me it is not accurate, I already know that. it was more for rough calculations and a visual aid to seeing how the weight distributed across the trailer changed the load on the tongue and tires
make sure to remove the ".doc" from the end of the file name to make it an excel ".xls" file
Play around with it and let me know what you think
