Shifting TV weight

Pulled "fully loaded" this weekend. All my weights were good but front axle was 100# over. How can I shift weight around? 5th wheel trailer. 2 adults (470-500 pounds) in front seats and 2 (350-400) in the back. We had a heavy cooler loaded down with about 100 pounds at the tail gate. Rest was in trailer.

Do I shift my fifth wheel back some? It's the B&W companion and I can move the plate's legs one more hole back.

Were you 100 over after hooking up or before. According to my smart weigh done at Escapees park in Texas I transfer 100# off the right front and 50# off the left when hooked up. If it's after I would move my B&W back one hole. Just me but if that didn't work I wouldn't get too excited. 100# of fuel weight should come off the front axle (& more off back) pretty quickly towing. Just my 2c.

Hooked up. We were on way home and stopped through. Only difference between that weight and trip down would be about 20 gallons of diesel which would be 160-180 pounds split between front and rear I would assume.
