The solar controller is curb side at the very front of the trailer along with the 12v positive and negative buss. The forward compartment were I could add batteries is adjacent to this. The 12v fuse block/converter is about five feet aft under a bed. The water heater is almost right behind the converter towards the outside wall.
You can add 2*100AH AGM to this forward storage. They are small ~7x12x9" WxLxH, total weight 100-125 lbs. You should be fine without reinforcing the floor. Or put a big piece of 3/4 ply to distribute the load. Or add one more joist.
Plus, another 2 or 3 of the AGM in the usual location on the tongue. I doubt these 2 added batts will overload your tongue too much - or you can use WD hitch.
