I would weigh things as you have it now then empty the fresh water tank and see where your numbers fall. Seeing as how you have done everything else with your hitch this is where I would start just to see your numbers.

2012 8315BSS. Fresh water tank is behind the axles. From my scale slips it appears as though my current Trailer weight is 7660 without the water in the tank. My current tongue weight is 1260. Even if I move the battery and propane to the rear, I"m not getting down to 10% or 766. Even pushing the envelope to 15%, I'd be at 1149.
