So, if we guess that the actual weight of the hitch that went on the trailer and the truck is about 75 pounds, we get back very close to the hitch weight measured by TM.
2940 + 30 + 75 = 3045

3660 - 3045 = 615 (tongue weight?) Is this the right math?
Here's my tongue weight on my "normally loaded" 3124KS. That means full propane tanks, but no water on board (fresh water tank sits very near the axle, so probably wouldn't affect TW very much). Multiply 150 x 4 = 600 lbs. TrailManor lists the "dry" tongue weight for the KD and the KS as the same, so I would say you're right in the ball park with 615.
