If you’re getting the weight safe you can doo all the checking sitting in your driveway.
You’re not concerned with truck payload or axle weights so no need to hit the scales if you’re going to shell out the dough for a weight safe anyway.
Although did you mention previously a water tank aft of the axles? That imo is a design flaw in general if taking into account how many use toyhaulers (with rear engine buggies and sxs).
Another small consideration is your sand rail is probably much lighter in front than the typical sxs of which sxs are I’d assume more popular and numerous than sand rails.
A test you can do if you have the weight safe and 2 good floor jacks is test in a static condition where the center of axles would need to be to achieve the tongue weight you need with the buggy in nose first.
I’d say having had a TH for a couple years that the happy medium is too much tongue weight when empty. Reason being you can hang 2klbs of tongue weight off the right hitch and stinger and easily compensate for it in the truck suspension if necessary. But the other way around like your camper appears to be results in an undesirable trait that requires physical ballast moves to haul empty vs full.
Or to sum it up every Rv is a compromise of some sort. For example I’d have been better served with a lighter tongue TH like yours because I used the garage for living space with no intentions of hauling a tail heavy toy in it.
