Hitch Weight
Hello All. First time posting and excited to be picking up a 189DD over the holidays. I was curious by some of the pictures, it appears the fresh water tank is up front under the queen bed. With a 36 gallon capacity at ~249lbs, if you're trying to boondock, given most of that weight will add to the hitch, with 20lbs in lp, 62lbs battery, 350lbs base hitch wt, that's 249+20+62+350 = 681. Even maxed out, with a GVWR of 3850 that's a tongue weight of ~18% without even having anything in storage. I realize not all of the tank would translate to the hitch and I didn't buy the camper for much boondocking, but it seems like it's not even an option unless you go with much less water in the tanks. Wondering if this is accurate or I'm missing something? Thanks and happy to be part of the community!
