Hey Bill, Yes thats my goal. On the mini, the whole cabin is forward of the axle, with most of the storage space at the very front of the cabin. So while an evenly distributed 500lbs would be a total non-issue, the Mini's layout means most of that 500lbs converts to tongue weight. There is a narrow walkway towards the door with some space, but thats it.
If I could put stuff on the patio, I could just balance the load as needed. But without that option, the cargo layout gets really constrained.
Thanks for reading and your feedback as always.
