DON'T confuse load distribution and weight distribution.  Weight
distribution has nothing to do with how the contents of the trailer are
arranged, but with the fact that you are "distributing" the tongue
weight correctly between the trailer and tow vehicle for safe handling. 
trying to balance the load of the contents within the trailer can result
in sway, which can cause real problems.  Too little tongue weight can
unload the rear of the tow vehicle, causing handling problems.
