[QUOTE="soberups, post: 562961, member: 14668"] The amount of weight in the package car has no effect on the balance of the trailer. I have pulled empty trailers with a full package car hundreds of times. I have never had an issue, or noticed any difference in handling. Even if you have a big load in the back of the trailer causing negative balance, once you get it pushed down onto the ball and latched it will not have a noticeable effect on the handling of the package car. I have had negative balance that required 2 people (say 400 lbs.) to stand on the toungue in order to push it down onto the ball and latch it. I had no issues with the handling whatsoever. The only safety issue here is that trying to stand on the toungue is a good way to fall off and get injured. I wont do it, instead I go get the forklift and use it to force the toungue down onto the ball. [/QUOTE]
