New TT, Passport 3220GT Advise/Discussions

Hello everyone,

Just bought a new 2012 Passport 3220BH and love it. My TV is a 2008 Chevy Suburban LTZ, 5.3 L V-8 with an E-2 WD hitch and sway control, and electric brake controller. Brought it home from northern Alabama to south Georgia with no problem. Now that I've accessorized it with my stuff, I can tell a significant difference in towing. Went for first camping trip this past weekend. Took wife, kids, coolers, grill, etc and seemed alot more sluggish to start and stop. Learned alot the hard way. Any advice for loading the camper and or maximizing the towability of my suburban? I've heard about the 12% tongue weight rule but how can you really calculate this by the time your propane tanks are full, additional luggage, and each trip is different with different amounts of additional weight. Can't afford a new diesel truck right now, maybe in the future. Any comments or suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
