My tongue weight is not anywhere close to 650#. I do know how to set up weight distribution.

Setting it up has nothing to do with the actual tongue weight.
Whether you use a WDH or a weight bearing weight, the tongue weight is the same on the hitch.
With a WDH, it's just distributing some of that weight off of the rear axle (not the hitch) to the front axle through leverage of the spring bars, which also throws some extra pressure/weight on to the trailer axles as well. However, the WDH will not lessen the tongue weight on the receiver hitch.
With a travel trailer, hybrid or not, you should be right around 650 lbs with an average 13% of total trailer weight. Perhaps you have a lighter tongue weight of only 12%, but never seen any TT ever go below that.
Looks like your
2011 Jay Feather X20E weighed nearly the same as my previous
2008 Jay Flight 19BH.
Glad it's working for you.
