Question Fun Finder XT 275 Toy Hauler Loading?

Does anyone have this model toy hauler?

My question is. What position in the trailer do you tie down your bike when hauling just one?

If the bike is tied down on the left side it gives complete access to the walk through door on the right side to the living area. Will this be too much weight on one side? Or considering the entire weight of the trailer, will it off set it. Dry weight is 5140 #. I will be using a weight distribuation/anti sway towing bars.

I am also using a Wheeldock Chock bolted through the floor.

Save the trailer queen comments. I am still in it for the long ride. This will be my retirement home!

Default High side

The road has a crown so keep extra weight to the high side. Heavier bike when hauling two, or one bike on the left.

I have hauled my bike on both sides...could not tell the difference. Which side is your water tank on? It weighs as much as your bike when full...and when you come back your water tank will be empty and your waste tanks will be full which changes weight distribution. The rig weighs so much moving 800 lbs a couple of feet makes no difference. And to answer your question I always haul a single bike on the left side just because of door access.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not new to RV's. This will be my first toy hauler so it's a learning curve for me.
