First TH pull coming up

I'm about to haul a fiver TH 1300 miles empty. I've pulled plenty of regular fifth wheels, but got to wondering, is there any special consideration for pulling an empty TH I should know about?
Thanks!

Not my camper, I just deliver them to dealers around the country. My “toy” is a 30 foot cabin cruiser. Haven’t seen a TH big enough to hold it yet!

Empty toy haulers are usually tongue/pin heavy. My empty bumper pull toy hauler goes from 940 to 1400+ tongue when the garage is empty.

I assumed an increase, but not that much! That sounds like a real challenge.
It looks like somebody else beat me to that run. I’ll find out this afternoon what’s available for me to pull this weekend. I imagine we are all trying to avoid the northern runs right now.
