Look at where the water tank is, if it's fwd of the axles tongue weight will decrease on the trip home.
We don't dry camp. Most of the CG we frequent have water and elect but no FHU. My fresh tank, which is always almost empty, is over the axles while my waste tanks are up front. Furthermore, the dump stations are sometimes a mile or so away from the camp site.
I tow in with all tanks empty and tow out with gray and black tanks full. This puts me WWAAAAYYY over RAWR. That is the longest mile of the whole trip, between the camp site and dump station.
