Your trailer is a single axle trailer, which means that there is way more weight on the tongue than the normal 10-15%. But consider this: On the rear left side of the trailer you should find a sticker that list among other things the following: GVWR and GAWR. The GVWR list the max allowable weight of the trailer and the GVWR list the max load on the axle. If GAWR is greater than your axle max capacity you loose.

And if you move stuff to the rear of the trailer you put more weight on the axle. Even with a WDH you'll likely have more weight on the rear of the TV than is allowable, plus it can seriously diminish the steering of the TV. And the dealer will probably tell you that you are ok. Texas RV told me that and the fact was that we were way over capacity, and lucky to make it 1000 miles back without incident. Remember that they make money selling these units. Once you are out the door they don't really care.
