Hitch weight?
Am I likely to notice a big difference if I lower my tongue weight by 200lbs? The overall weight will be almost the same, slightly less. But the hitch weight will be 200 less. Thanks

Dry weight is suppose to be 5,997 Hitch Weight is suppose to be 670.
Factor in average (I know that's a guess) load for family of 6.
Vs.
Dry weight of 6,200 Hitch Weight of 870
Use same guess for payload.
Does that help?
Are you wondering what trailer to get? Yes it makes a difference, and depends on your truck you have.
The two you listed have different % TW's. Heavy one at 14% and light one at 12%.
Now when you load the 870 tw camper with all your stuff, propane, people etc you may be over 1070 lbs. Again what truck.
Load the 670 tw trailer and your at 870 lbs say..
Your truck may not handle that payload along with people, fuel, gear etc....
Lighter is better IMO
