Thanks Tim. Yeah, I'm confident I can get my weights in line. Physics don't lie... A couple days ago, I did the bathroom scale method for tongue weight and with a 35 1/4" plank (close enough), tongue 1' from the support and 2' from scale, I got a reading of 157#. This was with the battery in the back and with 2 LP tanks. 471# tongue weight no workie with Audi Q5, so thus my quest to lighten da load. Took the tanks off and got a 140# reading, so at least I'm under the limit w/o tanks, i.e 420# tongue wt. (How the 3500#/350# tongue folks do it w/o a WDH I'll never know.) Pulled the awning, wardrobe and a heavy rolled-up queen size 2'' memory foam out of the TM. Moved the cabinet the wardrobe spot, and we'll see what tomorrow's scales say...
