Just an FYI to anyone that might care. I loaded my 8.5x22 VRV with full water, a 800 pound Quad and 2 dirt bikes weighing a total of 375lbs. My tongue weight remained the same at around 850lbs. I still have plenty of room for a couple of coolers and a generator in the back to offset the weight of food, clothing, etc... up front. I figure my trailer will weight completely loaded around 6300lbs and with 850lbs of tongue weight I will be at a completely reasonable 13% tongue weight which is perfect for me.
