Not much, if you have a large toyhauler. I just figure NO weight taken off. I have a triple axle. However, if you have a bumper pull, it may make quite a difference.
on review, I see you do have a bumper pull, 29'. You need to weigh, as it may make a big difference.
Rough idea, measure from ball to center of the two axles. Then, measure to middle of load in garage.
If it is 20 feet to ball, and 4 feet to center of garage load, about 1/5th of the weight will transfer. ie, if 1000# bike, about 200# will come off.
I would load trailer full, wo load. Weigh. Then, load garage. Weigh again.
Now you know for sure EXACTLY what happens.
