2001 GMC Yukon 1500 as TV
I've searched the forum for posts that would help answer my questions. While I found plenty of helpful info, I haven't found exactly what I'm looking for. We're anticipating jumping into RV'ing, but...

BTW, as I try to determine actual weight of loaded trailer, how do I calculate weight of water in holding tanks? Do I assume all tanks are full? The Lance has 4 - 45 gal tanks (2 grey water tanks). Water alone in all 4 tanks would weigh over 1,500 lbs! Should I just assume full fresh tank, with that water making its way to the other tanks? Maybe 2 full tanks?
Also, when calculating total trailer weight, would tongue weight move to weight of TV and thus be subtracted from weight of trailer? For example (using simple numbers):
5,000 lb trailer weight fully loaded
10% tongue weight = 500 lbs
Trailer weight now = 4,500 lbs since 500 lbs distributed to TV?
Thanks again for helping the novice.
