I have a 2016 Impact 312. Your toy as stated will not take that much off of the tongue. You want to hit the sweet spot of 10 to 15% on the tongue or these things swing like a dingy tied by the bow to a dock. Get a good weight distributing hitch (WDH) and adjust it as per the instructions. Makes all the difference in the world. The tongue weight you are quoting is 12% of your total gross camper weight (camper weight + carrying capacity) or if fully loaded to the limit or it is 15% of your camper weight. Your weight will change once you load it. Your weight is probably close to the 1200 pounds provided by the dealer. I am using the 1400 pound bars and don't load mine close to the limit. They do great. I do use an Equilizer 4 point, which I highly recommend as a superior product which gives great results.

Hope this helps. Welcome to the forum.
