Well, if you leave the pot bellied stove at home, you shouldn't have
too much problem.

I have often thought that. Primarily because of the other
things that go in a kitchen. Normally you would want the can
goods close by and they are the heaviest of the food
supplies, but what goes in that refrig can weigh out also.
I'm sure they can run the gray water up forward, but that is
a more temporary weight adjustment.
I had a TT a while back that, although had a mid kitchen, it
had a rear mounted fresh water tank. When I had it full the
trailer would not tow properly until I emptied it.
After I traded it off, I stayed away from rigs that tended
to be tail heavy and the rear kitchen is included in that.
I'm sure the engineers that design these things take that in
to consideration, but once is enough.

If the unit was properly designed, the running gear will be far enough
back that it won't be a problem. Just so you know, the appliances do
weigh near as much as sofas, chairs and TVs or a bedroom full of
clothes & bedding.

Not with proper design.  I love rear kitchens with two doors, one aft
and one forward in the bedroom.  For weight balancing water tanks and
storage can be up front.  It's also a simple matter of where the axles
are placed.

I see where "diggerodell@gmail.com" <diggerodell@gmail.com>

Weight distribution is not the important issue. The only important
issue is that the rear of a trailer is subject to a great deal more
bouncing than the front.   This increases the risk of breakage of
stuff not well packed when under way.  BT,DT.

You have some replys and you will get more. Evaluate them
and hopefully you will make your own decision and not think
any one here is an expert in the subject. Contrary to Will I
think weight distribution is every thing. True the ride in
the rear will have more bounce to it but damage to any thing
because it was not well packed has nothing to do with the
subject and could occur any where in the rig.
In this day of the mass production I do not think they are
going to tailor axle location to accommodate a rear kitchen
rig. But it is a primary item in the design phase. They must
insure axle location will concistaintly provide proper CG
(center of gravity). You might have read here of an
individual that complained of pin bounce on a 5th wheel.
That is one of the results of improper CG. But all and all
the 5th wheel is much more forgiving than a TT when it comes
to weight distribution.

Take Care :-)

I really like the rear kitchen...it's very easy to access when on the road
for a quick or to get a can of soda...especially if you have a mid kitchen
and a closed slide between the entry and where you want to be.
