Just determined my tongue weight by the following method...

http://www.rverscorner.com/articles/tongueweight.html

Using the process depicted, my weight is 510 lbs. . I have a 2720sl. In looking at the trailmanor specifications, see that the present figure is 378 lbs..

So, this makes me wonder. My unit is opened and is on my cement slab. We do have some h2o in the fresh water tank; just don't know the amount exactly but probably about half full. Thetford also has about 3-4 gallons. (We have been testing everything and have only put water ito it to check it out.) Chair has been removed. Other contents are limited at this time; few cleaning goods (cleaning up from the prior owner), no camping stuff (food, clothes, etc, etc), no tv. In other words, very little inside.

So question is; does having it fully opened make a difference between what the trailmanor specifications show and what I have on hand?

And then, is this a critical problem for towing with our hitch?

Thank you.
