Need more tongue weight
I have a 2002 Sandpiper T22 Lite and need to somehow add a couple of hundred pounds to the tongue weight somehow. Seems most everything is at the axles and back inside. Its a great little trailer but ...

I would take the trailer back to where I bought it and COMPLAIN. Get your money back. Their fix will be to add dead weight to the front. Tell them that this is not acceptable.
LOL, you're assuming the OP just bought the trailer (maybe I missed that) and you're assuming that whomever sold him a now 19 year old trailer actually gives 2 ___ks about how it tows. Private party or dealer.
Just add some weight up front. Make it dead weight if can't figure out useful weight (like extra batteries, etc).
Could go to a scrap yard, get some thick steel bar or plate. That's the best bang for the buck save for solid lead. I just scrapped about 400lf of 2" x 4" steel bar. would have been great. Quick calc is 27lbs/lf.
