a 5vr REQUIRES min of 20% pin weight, moving even the fridge a couple of feet back towards the rear WILL affect the pin weight negatively. This move would require SOMETHING else heavy to be placed FORWARD to balance the effect.
A comment like that is, while a valid statement to a point, ridiculous in its claimed importance.
The largest double door (12 cubic foot) Dometic RV fridge I could find weighs 238 pounds.
If we use as an example a 10,000 pound 5'er, pin weight should be about 2,000 pounds.
If the center of the axles to the pin is 20', and the fridge is moved say 5' forward the most it could change the pin weight by is likely about 50 pounds. That's about the sames 6 or 7 gallons of water.
I suspect that wouldn't be an issue.
