Figure closer to 13-15% tongue weight, 10% is the minimum to be safe but most will be heavier by design and will tow better with more tongue weight. I know my trailer is designed to be right around 10% when empty but most storage other than water is forward of the axle and so tongue percentage is higher, and it actually tows better the more loaded it gets.
