Is it helping the layout because then you can put other stuff on the other 
side of the trailer?  Certainly it'd be fine then...  The trailer doesn't 
know how the weight got to where it is.

Even if not, I probably wouldn't worry about it as long as we weren't 
talking about enough weight that one side's tire/spring packages might get 
overloaded.  I wouldn't think that would be the case here, particularly 
with an enclosed trailer with significant weight on its own.

If I were you, I'd try it.  Go on a short tow at the speeds you'll be 
seeing on your trip while you still have time to make changes if you're 
wrong though.

Mark
