This is a Sundance 323BH XLT travel trailer.
Since I do not have a ruler, I used the lines on a piece of notebook paper to measure the length of the body.
The trailer is a total of 21 units (lines) long on my screen from ball to bumper. axles are centered 8 units from the rear, 13 units from the front.
150lbs placed directly on the bumper will lift 8/13's that amount off the ball.
That would be approximately 92lbs.
If the carrying rack is centered 1 unit behind the rear bumper, the weight lifted off the ball will be 9/13's of 150lbs, or about 104lbs.
100-ish pounds may make or break you. It depends on how the trailer was designed to begin with.
