    "Expert" answer describing tongue weight

    How many people agree with this "expert" answer? https://www.etrailer.com/question-224039.html I thought tongue weight was only the actually weight of the coupler as it sits on the ball? I learned on this forum that you don't even include the WDH head as part of tongue weight.
