After much thought and consternation, a few rounded off numbers, and a little time with a calculator, I came up with:
Wolf Creek 840 dry weight is 1990 lbs. Add 35 gallons fresh water (290 lbs), plus 6 gallons in hot water heater (50 lbs), plus two 20 lb full propane tanks (40 lbs), plus 2 batteries (130 lbs), + camping gear (400 lbs) = 2,900 lbs wet weight.
Trailer tongue weight is whatever I want it to be, depending on where I load what I am putting on it. For the load in the picture I could set tongue weight at 400 lbs, which is 10% of the total.
Your numbers are close, the 840 will weigh a little more than you think. I have a WC850, loaded weight is 3,200lbs, and if I'm not mistaken the 840 is slightly heavier. You should have no problem with your current rig.
