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.
I'm surprised that tanks are not built with baffles, to combat the "sloshing" of water when going around turns. Unless they are, and I'm not aware of them.
