I'm sure I'm not the only one with this problem, but can't seem to find a thread on this issue with the Ram tailgate while towing. So, with our new travel trailer, the tailgate will only open about 12"-14" connected to the trailer. If I extend the receiver hitch out to the second slot, then the tailgate will open all the way. My question is, how much additional leverage/weight does extending the receiver hitch out to the second slot cause? The dry weight of this TT is only 4875, but the tongue weight is about 800lbs which is more than 15% of the trailer weight. Just wanted to make sure this wasn't going to be an issue.
