Will do, thanks for the advice.

Okay...so, using the advice above, today I mounted the soap dispenser to the shower wall using command hooks. All that remains now is to stress test it. I'll give another report after we do that. Don Left to right: the wall bracket that holds the soap dispenser, 16-lb command hooks, and the soap dispenser. Command hooks adhered to the back of the wall bracket. The wall bracket adhered to the shower wall using the command hooks. The soap dispenser with the lid removed. It can taken down from...

And showers are quick and efficient, and don't leave puddles of water outside the shower curtain. At the end of this outing, we'll take the dispenser off the wall, clean it, and put it away for the winter. Next spring, we'll bring it out again. One note: we'll also take it off the wall whenever we're...

Lynn, even those there is some dynamic load factor in that capacity, and a front hitch would be used under relatively low stress conditions, I'd avoid going over that limit. My tongue weight on the 1575 ranges between 400-430 lbs.

I think I would be more cautious with a 1/2 ton pickup since the frames are considerably lighter. For those of us with the HD chassis I really don't worry about it as there is nt dynamic load of being on the highway and the pull rating on the front hitch rating is significantly higher usually at 9,000 pounds (in the case of my Dodge) Now with my front bumper I no longer have an actual hitch separate its part of the bumper I regularly move my 6000 pound pontoon boat around with it on the...
