Relocate batteries to reduce tongue weight
I would like to reduce the tongue weight of our 2009 WW FB2100. There are currently 2 6v batteries mounted on a rack on the tongue. There is enough depth at the rear to mount them under the bed of the...

There’s more to this story. RTBabich states he wishes to move the batteries from 11 feet ahead of the axles to 4 feet behind. I strongly suggest you (he) locate a pilot and do some calculations. Every pilot must know weight and balance for his aircraft. They measure the distance from the center of gravity to the location of the weight. Using a formula they can determine the new center of gravity. By proper loading they can shift the center of gravity forward or back.
It sound like you’ll be removing nearly 100% of the weight from the forward position but only shifting a small portion of that weight behind the axle. To be most effective you should move that weight as far back as you can to accomplish your desired hitch weight.
