I stopped by John's to have a look-see while I was picking up a few things there. Very very impressed with the set up, and still room to put a 175, and a few other things inside as well.

Gary, that's EXACTLY where you want the weight!! Of course, you don't want to exceed the tongue weight limit, or the gross weight limit that your hitch or vehicle was designed for.
I drove semi for 15 years, pulling 2 even 3 trailers at a time. You ALWAYS wanted the heavy stuff towards the front of the trailer (without overloading it), and gradually scaling the weight back. Your lead trailer should be the heaviest, while the back trailer should be lighter. The further back the weight, the greater the "whipping" effect will be.
Really?Just cause a semi is larger then a pick up, doesn't mean the physics change.

Now John, I'm sure you know that a Cougar can't chew up a Beaver until after a Temple marriage...
BYU Cougars (my alma matter) embarassed Oregon last night in the Las Vegas bowl...once again proving that the freakin BCS system is a #@%$*& joke.

My tandem 12X8 has the tm over the axles and waste tank slightly forward of the axles.
NO. Slightly forward as to maintain proper tongue weight. You can't load a small trailer like a semi you fool. Read my posts. All are in reference to maintaining PROPER tongue weight and balance.Gary T said:WoW, 4% of gross trailer weight up front sure ain't much. Certainly not all the weight up front like ya load a semi as you claim. THAT is what I have been saying all along. Did I say balanced over the axle?[quote="Gary T":13o8fhs0]My tandem 12X8 has the tm over the axles
