Telescoping Trailer Tongue Extension Question

The one thing I would not be concerned about is the changing tongue weight.

First off the structure of the telescoping tongue only ADDS weight to the tongue. Second off a longer tongue tends to make the trailer more stable, requiring a smaller percentage of tongue weight.

But, it's still going to be heavier than it is now, extended or retracted. If it tows good now it will tow as good or better extended.

Not necessarily . It will add more overall weight to the trailer but as the tongue gets longer less weight will be applied to the tongue and more to the trailer axle on a single axle . It will be somewhat disproportionate because you are adding weight closer to the coupler , not at the COG of the trailer .A double axle is a little more complicated . As the front axle starts to unload you also change the fulcrum point .
