Newbie question

Wanting to purchase a smaller fifth wheel toy hauler, GVWR 12,000 with a dry weight of a round 10,000lbs if I load with 2000 pounds does anybody know how much that would lower the camper over the camper axles 1-2” ? I am trying to determine hitch height for a level ride. I understand about pin height/bed height, right now I am just trying to determine how Cargo weight affects the fifth wheel axle suspension.

It's really a difficult question to answer as the drop on the trailer over the axles would be dependant on the amount of weight, the number and size/strength/rating of the suspension components among other factors. I think your estimate is likely in the ball park but it could be significantly less or more again, depending on the specifics of the trailer and load.

Thanks, I figured it be hard to get an estimate I guess I’ll just have to wait and see.
