How does the Hitch Load on Sundance Fifth Wheel change with water in the Fresh Tank

If I add water to my fresh water tank on a Sundance 5er does that increase or decrease the load on the hitch? In other words is the fresh water in front of or behind the axles? I have a 2900MK.

You might want to drop a side of the underbelly a bit and take a look. I think that most water tanks are mounted over the axles.

I think Dave is right I think it is over the axle. I have the 2900 MK and have traveled with a full tank many times and have not noticed it towing any different. I do have air bags but towed for a year without them.

On my 3300CK it adds.

My only experience is with our former rig ('06 Cardinal) I do not have the #'s with water vs without water, however it pulled better full of fresh water, did not notice any difference in the pin weight.
