Downside to tongue weight over 15%?
Tongue weight should be between 10 & 15%. It usually is. There is a potential serious safety issue if it's below 10% and that's well documented everywhere. But what is the downside of being over 15...

Most Toy Haulers have very heave tongue weight. My 22' TH tongue weight is around 1200 lbs. when unloaded. I use a Reese dual cam with 1200# bars. No issues with heavy tongue weight only if you go to lite. Look at semi's there tires are at the back of the trailer putting a lot of the weight on the truck.
