I stepped up on the galley ledge to work on the wiring. I guess the countertop, shelves, and cabinets that i put into the kitchen changed the balance of the trailer because when I stepped up, the tongue started levitating! Fortunately, it was a pretty close thing because I stepped down gently and the tongue didn't hit the ground too hard.
I have a few heavy things left to install in the kitchen, pull out cook top, ice chest, drawers, and the galley hatch. I am going to put an aluminum or steel tongue box on the front. The debate and balancing point will be where to locate the battery and AC unit. For the battery, Tongue box or kitchen? For the AC I have a spot over the axel (in one of the inside cabinets, with a slide out to the outside) or in the tongue box (with a punch through the front tear wall).
I guess I might have to wait until everything else is done to decide based on how it balances out.
