Now let me take off my BF hat and put on my RV forum moderator hat. If you are so near max capacity that you are concerned about tongue weight, you probably should be rethinking your tow vehicle. Pushing a tow vehicle to the max is not fun and will not only lead to more stressful travel but will shorten the life of your tow vehicle. OK, moderator hat off.
