10% is bare minimum. 12-15% is a better goal. Higher is even better but quickly becomes impractical.
I would beg to differ, the real only reason for the 10% is to stop instability issues that are usually sway. a light nose will sway but at less than 10% that is gone, that's why the recommended load is 10% for a travel trailer. do we usually end up with more, because we love to throw extra batteries on the front. probably for the last 41 years I have been shooting for 10% got there a few times but I am normally at 11 %. is there any harm in going for more, nope but its not needed, once your over 10% the stability issues are generally done, unless you have something else going on.
