5th Wheel Pin Weight

I see a fair number of posts stating that the pin weight on a 5th wheel should be from 10-15% of the total weight. Our CKSS is probably closer to 20%, does anyone see that as an issue?

Recommended hitch weight for travel trailers is 10-15%.

Recommended pin weight for 5th wheels is 15-25%.

Your approximate 20% pin weight is pretty much where it should be.
