I'm on the other end of the weight predictions. I weighed (with two different bathroom scales) our 2619 tongue load with full propane bottles and one group 31 battery but no clothing, food etc and it came out at less than 350lbs -- 309 to be exact. We dont have AC, awning or microwave and our spare tire is on the rear bumper but I think you'll have to really add stuff to the front of the trailer to get it anywhere near 700lbs. We had a Chevy light-2500 (now 1500HD) pickup when we first picked the trailer up and the tongue weight dropped our rear bumper no more than 1'' with no WDH. I would suggest that you weigh that thing yourself before making any final decisions on setting up your truck. IMO there is no way your dealer would find 700lbs tongue load on an empty 2619. Just my $0.02 -- and I've been wrong before but having weighed ours I'm skeptical.
