Great post! I think your setup is good.... Close to the limits, but still good. Just be careful about gaining weight.. TTs are a lot like people that way.. They both tend to gain weight over time.
As far as the TW.. Keep in mind that since you boondock, that the fresh water weight will move from the FW tank to the waste water tanks.
I am guessing that since you said the FW was up front, that means the TW will be less on the way home. If you are using the heater, then your propane tanks will weigh less too. So TW being an the heavy side at the start of a trip is probably a good thing.
Thanks. You bring up a very good point about the drive home. I am certainly lighter on the way home and the balance will surely have shifted to the rear with water. I actually adjusted my hitch head down one hole after I got home because my perfectly level trailer when leaving was actually about an inch high in the front when I got home. And that was even with one less link on the wdh.maybee I should run it over the scales on the way home sometime to what the difference actually is.
