Brochure tongue weight does not include the battery or propane. That alone could put it over 500 pounds of tongue weight.
:h with respect: A large propane tank weighs about 55 pounds full. x2 = 110 pounds.
A group 27-- 12 volt battery weighs 61 pounds.
110 + 61= 171 pounds. Rounded off, it could add 200 pounds to the tongue. These numbers can easily be determined with a quick Goggle search.
I don't understand 500 pounds?
Brochure tongue weight is given as 390 pounds in the opening post. 500 total with one each battery and gas bottle is probably about right for a minimum number.
Bingo the light goes on. Now I understand. Thanks Francesca.
