I’m in west central LA. There was no exact science goin into the front of my trailer as far as weight.
For starters the longer tongue really doesn’t seem to make much of a difference in pulling. The rack on the tongue is for my generator. I haven’t actually hauled it yet. My first camping trip we used 12v and propane only.
The cabinets are very light weight. I moved the cabinets by myself. As far as loading them, we only haul the necessary stuff. This weekend was the most it has hauled in a “camper” mode. I had stuff stored under the bed as well as the cabinets. I pulled it about 2 hours, 1 way, 4 hours round trip and had absolutely no issues. I was able to pull it highway speeds(65) like it wasn’t even there.
Earlier in the summer we pulled it to Arkansas in a dive trip. It was loaded with about 30 scuba tanks and 9 sets of gear and it pulled like a dream.
So I guess to completely and truthfully answer your tongue weight question. I don’t really know!!!!! Lol Maybe this summer I will be able to give a educated answer on how it works.
