Hunting dog,
You point out the reasons why I never put much credibility in weight and balance. I can shift the pounds of water weight from the fresh tank over the axles to the black and gray tanks in the rear end of the TT in a few days of use.
Add to this consumption of fire wood, food, propane and shifting of items from TT to the TV bed and cab, plus the periodic dumping of the black and gray tanks and several hundred pounds will change on an extended trip.
When you are hitched to a 6000 lb box on wheels; wind, rain, road surface, hills and traffic are a far greater concern than a few hundred pounds of weight.
While I do not doubt those who say you can never have too much TV; like my TT, I bought the a TV big enough to handle the task at hand.
If you have a stability problem, I would think it is more then the amount of water in your fresh water tank.
