RVIA and tongue weight

Trying to search for info. on toy hauler tongue weight coming from the RVIA's website. Can't seem to find anything? Does anyone know if something like this exists. Trying to educate a dealer in town about how TT TH generally have at least 15% tongue weight. Dealer is convinced that 10% is the "norm".

    You're both probably not 100% accurate. Bring a bathroom scale, a fulcrum, a length of 4x4, and a tape measure and you can weigh the tongue weight right in the lot. Beer is on the guy furthest off.

    RVIA is a trade organization that makes safety standards for RV mfgs. so the mfg. can put the RVIA label on the side of the rig. Tongue weight is not one of their standards.
