  You want about 10% of the trailer weight on the tongue and you want whatever the weight is to be within the limits of your TV.  I'd want to go over 10% rather than under, but your TV puts limits on that.  A weight distribution hitch can help.

As a newbie waiting for the spring & waiting for my first trip I am still asking a lot of questions. Purchased a 178 this month & anxiously awaiting spring. I have set up on the tongue two batteries, deep cycle marine RV. My 178 came stock with a 20lb propane tank which weighs in at 38lbs when full. I am thinking of switching out this steel tank for a 30lb aluminum tank which weighs, when full, 48lbs. This tank will weather much better than the steel tank.Does this extra weight pose a problem while towing. Appreciate your response.
 Thanks Larry
