Well, I guess all's well that ends well. Took the rig out for one more mini-run, only 20 miles or so, after re-shuffling this and that in it and also in the TV.
Returned to the original measurement parking lot for at least semi-accurate readings. Now it's towing *exactly* level according to frame measurements. Tongue weight is 489lbs, 7lbs over the 15% rating. Handles dreamy, even the wife who drove it home (her first time ever towing anything) said "Oh yeah, this will be no problem at all".
So off we go tomorrow, across America with a TT we've never even slept in and nothing holding us back but... but... well.... nothing at all!
Thanks again to all of you who chimed in and helped, this kind of stuff is what makes these forums so great. See you when we get back I guess! Or maybe I'll post a few "on the road" pics :-)
