Thought I added my 2 cents (2 lbs?) to this thread but I guess not. Must say it's a bunch of light weights on here.

We're 3300# on the pin and 23700# going down the road with empty trailer tanks.

Referencing thread subject matter and for simplicity listing TV model didn't influence scaled tongue/pin weights..., but for reference many responses note TV model in member's signature.

Awesome! My exact combination that I may be winding up with, HDPP and the same trailer. (options are frameless glass, corian prolly same batteries, and hopefully solar in the future with lithium) By any chance do you have a thread about the solar install?
