We bought the same model in the "IK" version...Island Kitchen....which means the kitchen is over the axels. Some shy away from our model because one must walk through the bedroom to get to the kitchen. Not an issue for us.
I'm trying to remember what's over the axels with the FK model...isn't it the living area? Don't you have a lot of overhead storage cabinets? If so, try to store (and yes this may be odd, but) dishes, canned foods, etc. in those. Those cabinets have a lip on the front edge, so things shouldn't slide up to and force open the doors.
I've never seen so much storage in these TTs! We haven't touched the cabinets over the recliners, over the bed, and only one cabinet over the sleep sofa (throws, etc.)
I'm not *even* qualified to advise you re tongue weight, just offering an alternative option for storage.
Congrats on a beautiful TT!
