Correction, tongue weight should be between 10% and 15%. Use 13% for planning purposes but it's always best to weigh the rig.
Never, ever go by dry weight and dry tongue weight. You will never tow the rig at that weight. Options, such as awning and AC, are not included in the listed dry weight. Shipped weight (on the yellow sticker on the starboard side of the trailer) is closer to reality. But the real number is what it weighs when loaded for a trip.
Your trailer for example has a 2,645 cargo capacity. If in fact you loaded it full, you could potentially have a 1202# tongue weight (at 13%). In other words, those light tongue weights are listed because it's built to have a lot more weight up front.
