Most TM's with the slides will run over #500 tongue weight from what has been reported on this forum. The axle position is designed to reduce sway problems and this results in an increase in tongue weight. We don't carry fresh water in the TM but with two weeks of supplies we run right at 3640 to 3680 on the axle. With a a 2619, no slide, just the the front bunk your most likely near #400 pounds on the tongue dry.

TM tongue weights as reported here run much higher the folks expect.
