Does anybody else "cheat" by loading all their gear into the rear of their RV?

... I figured if the paint fades after 3-4 years outside full time, we'll just get another new rig. Life is too short.

I think it's Chevy that has the paint problems

They all did...even Toyota...

It's just that the rest of a Chevy lasts longer is why you see so many Chevy peelers...LOL

Loading more weight in the rear risks making the tail wag the dog. If this has ever happened to you you'll know you don't ever want it to happen again. Terrifying to say the least.

I think the key is not loading "more" weight in the rear, but rather loading "too much" weight in the rear. Stick to your tongue weight as a percentage of overall trailer weight and I think you'll be fine.

I try to load heavy stuff to the rear of our Reflection, and also to the curb side, as the street side is heavier.

Nothing heavy in the front compartment. I load the heaviest items (compressor, tool box, inflatable kayak, etc) to the back from the curb side, lighter things to the front.

Inside we only carry clothes in the closet, and light stuff undet the bed. We carry heavy items under the rear couch......telescoping ladder, screen porch, a couple of wrench sets, and our drinks. Under the curb side sofa end table we carry 12 1/2 Gal milk jugs of water, but we did have to reinforce that shelf after it collapsed during a trip.

We also hang 2 mountain bikes on the rear. Our pin weight is 21%.
