Tongue Weight as a Percentage of Loaded Yetti Weight
Type of Hitch
Percentage
Ball Hitch (or Bumper Hitch)

–15%for large Trailers
6-10% for smaller utility and cargo Trailers
The numbers quoted above are for example purposes only and should be tailored to the specific
Yetti. For questions regarding the actual percent of tongue weight for the Yetti, check with the
manufacturer for specifics.
Uneven left / right load distribution can cause tire, wheel, axle or structural failure. Be sure your
Yetti is evenly loaded left / right. Towing stability also depends on keeping the center of gravity
as low as possible.
Shifting Cargo
Since the Yetti
“ride” can be bumpy and rough, you must secure your cargo so that it does not shift while
the Yetti is being towed.
If the door latch is equipped with a deadbolt, use the deadbolt to prevent the door latch from opening.
Improper tongue weight (load distribution) can result in loss of control of the trailer,
leading to death or serious injury.
Make certain that tongue weight is within the allowable range.
Be sure to:
Distribute the load front-to-rear to provide proper tongue weight (see chart); Distribute the
load evenly, right and left, to avoid tire overload and keep the center of gravity low.
WARNING
Shifting cargo can result in loss of control of the trailer, and can lead to death or serious
injury.
Tie down all loads with proper sized fasteners, ropes, straps, etc.
WARNING
If the door opens, your cargo may be ejected onto the road, resulting in death or serious
injury to other drivers.
Always secure the door latch after closing. Use the door’s deadbolt.
