Top Heavy
If placing items on top shelves or upper bunk beds what is the max weight would you place to be safe from trailer swaying/tilting from being top heavy when towing a TT behind you? Thanks

High weight is never good. It's not like a little high weight is good and another is bad. It's cumulative. Any high weight is bad and more is worse and a lot is really bad.
What makes it worst is, bunks are usually in the rear which takes tongue weight off which is never a good thing.
Another bad thing is heavy things falling off of bunks are always a bad thing.
Plan carefully. :)
Good advice. When I built by last camper/trailer, I put an extra water tank between the frame, just ahead of the axle and a fuel tank in front of that. When packing, keep the weight as low as possible and above or forward of the axle. The lower the weight, the better and 10-15% tongue weight is ideal, as long as the TV can handle it.
