This design has 2 storage compartments at the very back and the TT has plenty of CCC (2,411# cargo carrying capacity). So you can maintain your balance with stuff back there.
Problem is, the OP isn't telling you the full story. :R In this thread he revealed that he wants to tow this trailer with an undersized 3.0L V6 Mitsubishi and undoubtedly thinks he can work around it's limited payload capacity and therefore restricted tongue weight capacity by relocating the fresh water holding tank to aft of the axle, thereby shifting some of that gross tongue weight to the rear of the trailer, in turn requiring the TV to handle less tongue weight. Unfortunately it doesn't work that way ... sure, doing so will move some tongue weight to aft of the axles but it will also dangerously lighten the tongue. TERRIBLE idea ... the right solution, if he really wants this particular trailer, is a more suitable tow vehicle that can safely handle this trailer within all it's rated limits ... period.
Having read these forums for years I'm still amazed that even when it comes to such an important issue as towing safety some are still so willing to "fudge" around the real issue - i.e. lack of an appropriate tow vehicle - and think that will solve their problem. :R
