^^^ 2x. Easy to do and the second (re)weigh within a 24 Hr(?) time period is only a couple of dollars. The weigh masters are used to this. Do not unhook/hook up on the scales. It takes to long and ties up the scales.

I weighed mine with a Sherline scale a couple of times last year. On my 2018 Imagine 2600RB, tongue weight is about 1,025 lbs, which is just a hair over 15% of GVWR. It's not really that we carry that much stuff, it's just that all the storage is in front of the axles. Refrigerator, closet and TV is right over the axles. Both gray tanks and fresh tank in front of axles. The only thing behind the axles is the black tank and small cabinets in the bathroom. Basically, the only way to offset any tongue weight is to fill the black tank, which I don't want to do. So, I decided I can get by with tongue weight just a little over 15% of GVWR.

Advertised weight of the 2600RB (from GD website) says:
UVW: 5,725 lbs| Hitch Weight: 594 lb
With an advertised hitch weight of 594lbs and actuals hitting 1,205lbs no wonder it makes it hard to shop for people to make a proper buying decision with a TV they already own. I'd be curious to know what the actual Hitch Weights are off the assembly line. Honestly, there are few options available, it would help everyone if GD would update their specs. Just my opinion.

My 2019 2800BH tongue weighs 890 ready to camp. Empty tanks. That's measured with a tongue scale and trailer level.
Now when taking weight as payload added to my expedition I'm closer to 1000 once you throw in the hitch. So I'm under my 920 max tongue capacity per the Ford sticker on the hitch and im under max payload per the door sticker once the 1000 is added on to myself, wife, 2 little ones, dog, and a little gear (most gear goes in the trailer). Close, but safe and in limits. Tows well at 65 unless I get a crosswind of over 20.2019 2800BH

Actual Tongue Weights
My pin weight averages about 1,600 lbs (18%).
I have the 26’ Reflection 150 series GVWR is 8995.
Pin weight is on the heavy side because we full time and have a lot of mods.

If I'm hugging the same side of the lane there are passing on I'll feel it but if I'm riding the outside of the lane then no. I think anything in the light truck/SUV range will feel that pull so you just have to pay attention while driving and not drift close to the other lane. That or upgrade to a 350 I guess.
