Please learn from my very serious mistake of thinking that our sweet little Honda Trail could be carried on the back of a camp trailer without giving it a second thought. Wrong! The weight of the hitch, HF motorcycle carrier, and the Honda Trail created a "Tongue Light" dynamic which caused...

I also took the spare tire carrier off and but the tire up front.

Is your trailer single axle or dual? My Travel Trailer is a single-axle plus it's comically short (15'). I was ready to add a receiver so I could use my Hitch-mount rack to carry my TW200, but then I decided against it as I was worried that having ~300 LBS on the very rear of the trailer would upset what otherwise is a very well-balanced Trailer (to the point that I've never needed or used a WD Hitch with this particular trailer).
If mine were a dual-axle I wouldn't have worried about it as much.
