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 ...

Ops...correction = 6”-8” behind the CG of the trailer...

Move the axle assembly BACK towards the rear
How much will take some mechanical engineering.
My guess something in the neighborhood of 6”-8”
Trailer OEM’s, in general, has the trailer axle assembly center line too close to the coupler and IMHO, reduces the tongue weight. At the cost of towing manners.
Thought about that and I could do that but I'm hoping I can accomplish what I need if I can load that front compartment really well.
