2005 f150 towing travel star expandable and then...

this trailer has a forward flatbed, rear camper setup. father in law bought to carry 2 utility quads... problem.... tongue weight is extemely affected as flatbed is forward of trailer axles by 4-12 feet.... anybody have any ideas on effectively handling weight distribution?? tongue weight of trailer is 500 dry... guessing upwards of 1250 now??? Have read that the airbags for rear suspension fairly useless due to no transfer of weight to axles??

Is it the Travelstar 21SD? I'm really interested in that RV for carrying ATV's as well. Please let me know how you like it.

Anyway, not all the weight of the quads will be on the tounge. I'd say about half, so maybe only 1000 pounds on the tounge. If you use a weight distributing hitch, you should be fine. Also, load up as much stuff in the back of the living space of the trailer as well.
