FWIW, adding my 1400# sandrail to the back of my TT TH did nothing to increase or decrease my TW. I have a Sherline trailer tongue scale so I can attest (to my TH). Also, depending on where your tanks are can significantly change the TW percentage from 15 to ???. My TW increased by 300# with my 50 gal black tank at 75% full(black tank is about 12' back from hitch)from 1700# to 2200#. 90% of our outings are boon docking. As stated above, check your stock truck receiver (mine was only rated for 10,000#) and use at least 15% of trailer GVWR to determing what WD hitch you choose. I had the 1400/14000 Equalizer but had to get a Blue Ox 2000# WD hitch which is the strongest rated WD hitch in it's price range. Equalizer was a good hitch though just noisy even when lubricated.
