Water tank location on Minnie plus 25 RKS?
Buying a new Winnebago Minnie Plus 25 RKS and concerned about the low pin weight which is only 11-12% of total dry weight. If the water tank (50 gal) is in front of the axles, I can shift some weight ...

If the tank is located behind the axles, then I might not want it. A full tank (350#) would really effect the pin weight.
Not as much as you may think.
I've loaded many a GN and 5th wheel flatdeck trailers/stock trailers and was always surprised how little hitch weight changed adding weight just behind the aft axle. 350 lbs placed maybe 2' behind the aft axle changes hitch loads very little. How much it can change depends on several factors...the biggest is distance from the pin to the 1st or 2nd or 3rd axle and distance between each axle/etc.
I haven't looked but is there a owners forum for that brand trailer ?
