I will check it out today. I adjusted the hitch with the tank mostly full. It is now empty. I will do all the measurements and see if it looks like it needs to be adjusted. While it is a little of a PIA, it would make some sense to me that a shift of 500 or so pounds might affect the weight distribution enough to require an adjustment.
The bigger PIA is if you are going on a trip with a full tank and then returning with an empty one in which case if adjustment is required, you need to do it at the campground.
I will check it out and see.
I picked up my trailer last night and drove home with it completely empty and noticed that it was driving a bit bouncy in the back, which is what made me think to ask the question.
I do recall that when I set up my hitch with the tank full I was kind of on the edge of two different settings. I opted for the setting that shifted a little more weight to the front, but that may be too much forward distribution with an empty tank. I guess I will have to see...
