    Weight distribution in Solitude 375-RES

    My 375 came empty with almost #300 more weight on the left.
    All the kitchen cabinets, oven, fridge and pantry are on the left so as I load pots & pans and food I just make it worse.
    My unit leans left.

    Suggestions?

    Store the pots & pans in a different cabinet (middle or right of center). I had to move the canned goods from one side to the other (from kitchen area to one of the cabinets next to the fireplace) in our rig to help even out the load.

    Yep...Mine too. It is way better sense I switched to 8K lb axles and springs. You can't really see the lean any more. You can also load the heavy stuff, in the outside compartments, on the opposite side of the trailer to help balance it out. I still ended up about 400 lbs heavier on the fridge side. I think as long as you are not over loading your axles, springs and tires on the heavy side you will be ok. Most trailers have a heavy side but because of all the outside storage the 375res has the ability to help balance it out.
