I have a 27' Keystone Outback 250RS with two axles and rated 6K dry. The 30-gallon fresh water tank is entirely behind the wheels at the rear of the trailer.
The tongue weight was 625 lbs. before filling the 30 tank with 240 lbs. (30 gallons) of water, which raised it to 760 lbs.
Lesson: adding weight to the rear of the trailer will add some of that weight to the tongue.
I guess that would be possible --
if the rear end of the trailer were supported on jacks and the tires were removed. Otherwise, it is not possible.
In order for 240# of weight to increase the TW by 145#, the added weight would have to be roughly half way between the coupler and the axles.
Perhaps you need to re-check your weights.

LOL, you beat me to it Ron.
That is like saying there was a fat kid and a skinny kid on a teeter totter and the skinny kid was closest to the ground with the fat kid in the air.
Like Ron said, you need to recheck your weight or where the tanks are located at.
