Is ForestRiver nuts or what? (Single axel Vibe)

Friends bought this 20 footer, V nose Vibe. With a full sized pickup they are scared towing it as it sways and whips…unless they first fill the black tank, which is in the front where the bathroom is.
This isn’t the first time I have run into this with my trailer repair business.
When dry a 5 year old boy can lift the hitch!! There is only about 7 pounds of weight on it.

My proposal to fix it is to move the axel back about 2 feet.

How do they get away with building like this.

Changing the location of axle by 10% of the length sounds pretty drastic. But that is based on no information about real gross weight and TW. How much nose high is trailer when in tow?
