Any units that I have looked at don't include propane or battery in the brochure/UVW tongue weights. Some manufacturers may but not the ones I've looked at.

and then figure your real tongue weight will be between 150% and 200% of the factory unloaded tongue weight.
As an example, mine had 695lbs as the unloaded tongue weight. Actual loaded tongue weight w/o any water 1250 lbs, with full water tank, 1400lbs.
