Since the Trailer appears to have the standard LP tank mount ring, that means you have a 20 lb LP cylinder. Average weight of an empty 20 lb cylinder is 17 lbs. add 20 pounds LP and your combined weight is 37 lbs. LP weighs about 4 lbs per gallon. Your tank holds 5 gallons. NEVER TRANSPORT A DOT RV LP CYLINDER IN A CAR/TRUNK/PASSENGER AREA. Doug
Thank you very much Doug for your advice on all the questions I needed!
I have the next generation Q5 (2018-2023), with a 2-inch hitch, 7-pin socket, 440 lbs max tongue weight and 4,400 lbs towing capacity. I think in my case everything is okay.
Thank you for explaining about the propane tank. In that case, I will move the battery to the rear of the trailer and may also add some cargo behind the rear axle to reduce the tongue weight. I need to get to the nearest weigh station to weigh the trailer, and then I will have an understanding of the weight distribution. But first, I need to choose a hitch to level the trailer after coupling. I'm having some problems with that at the moment :)
