While there were some structural changes like the addition of a gray 
holding tank, the principal cause of the weight gain is the interior 
cabinetry. While the dry weight of the trailers only grew 560 lbs the 
hitch weight grew by almost double from 490 to 755 lbs. This would 
typically make it feel "heavier" but should tow more stable in a given 
stituation. The hitch weight change was brought on by added weight and 
the revision of the floorplan moving the bath forward.
While a chip might improve the engine performance, a torque converters 
main contribution would only be to reduce transmission heat build up. Of 
course neither will improve braking effectiveness.
