One of the ways to help the balancing, is to install the water tank on the light side of the trailer. Have it full when traveling, which they all should be anyways, and when the trailer is parked, who cares. Just enjoy.
A tongue weight of closer to 15 percent or sometimes even more, should be the goal, so that you wind up with ball park 600 pounds. That will help the proper utilization of the load equalizing hitch.

Andy, can you expand on this, never noticed it in forums befor. I'm just begining reassembly on a '64, 22'. Orig tongue weight 305#?. This weight limit screws up what I'd like to do w/interior. Shooting for less than 4k laden weight. If you insist +or-450 lbs would accually be better, well, I'd have to buy you a beer!!!!!! Will tow w/a reese, bars & sway. & V8 explorer rated at 5k#.
