Avalanche 2500 + 31 ft Jayco Eagle Question

I have a similar trailer and my first few trips I had too much tongue weight because we loaded everything up front in the storage and under the bed. I bought a tongue weight scale but it only went to 1K and I pegged it each time I used it. If you are careful with the loading in the front of the trailer you can tow it fine with propane tanks filled I think. I put a lot of my stuff from the front under the bed storage to the rear to keep the tongue weight reasonable for the TV. I would shoot for 1200# but without a scale it was mostly guessing.
I towed mines back and forth to FL several times with vehicles with less capacity than that.
I have always hear the 8.1L pulls good just loves to stop at fuel stations.
