17B tongue weight

I weighed the 17B tongue, loaded for the trip and got 325#
Filled the fresh water tank and weighed the tongue again. Got 320#

Sounds about right - mine (with dual propane, a pair of 6V batteries on the back, and 1/3 a tank of fresh water mostly packed for a long trip weighs in at 3000/345 lbs.

That's because your other tongue was too involved in the tasting!

Lucky thing it's not a double bock. The tongue weight would exceed the towing limits.
