I've never seen this range published by any reputable source. The most common recommendation I've seen for travel trailers is 10%-15% and at least one instance of 12%-15%. Bill Bryant's book, "Trailers and Fifth Wheels Made Easy", says on page 6,
"Tongue weight for conventional trailers should be about 10-15% of the gross weight. Remember low tongue weight causes fish-tailing, and control problems."
Other than that, I really like where this is going.
