Tongue weight & equalizer
I am buying a Ultra Lite 2702ws which has a tongue weight of 800 pounds. My dealer says that an equalizer will be able to reduce the tongue weight in half. Does this seem correct?

The tongue weight is still the same, it's still on the hitch, and must still be counted against the cargo capacity of the TV.
While the first half of you statement is true the second half is WRONG. The dead (i.e. what would be measured by something like a Sherline TW scale) tongue weight will not change the amount of that TW that will be "cargo" on the TV will be that dead TW minus what the WDH will transfer/redistribute to the TT axles which is typically in the 15% to 25% of the dead tongue wt.
