(You're probably mostly going to pull that thing into "civilized" campgrounds where freshwater is available, so you may want to leave those tanks empty). You'll need to add a bit of weight for whatever else you put into the trailer too, such as food and clothing. So, DO let Bill know what the actual approximate towed weight of the trailer is, when you ask for a custom tow tune.

Unfortunately, Bill's already written a custom tow tune. At the time that I upgraded to the Gryphon, I didn't know that I would be pulling a big travel trailer. I think that I talked/emailed with Corey, and at the time a boat was the biggest thing that I was towing.
