Most trailers don't over build their frames. The leverage on the rear of a trailer that wasn't made for the extra weight can cause frame issues. There are trailers that can take the extra weight, but if the tongue is already set up for a proper tongue weight and you put 75-100# or more in the back, you may have reduced your tongue weight by close to the same number. Extra tongue weight usually won't hurt you (if the TV can handle it) but low tongue weight can kill you.
