How much weight can front carry?

[WondersAwait]

On my 303 it's where the pinbox bolts to the frame, on the exterior of the drivers side.

howson If I had to guess I'd say the inside of the pinbox but I'm not honestly sure. I'll take a look this afternoon when I'm at the rig.

timelinex ... this one may be a best to consult with GD Customer Service. The bedroom is on an upper platform of what I think is a drop frame configuration (not exactly sure of the name). The reason for my caution is I've seen (on other manufacturer's trailer's) cracks on the outside of the walls due to excessive flex between the front section and rear section of a drop-frame trailer.

The first two minutes of the video below show a typical setup.

An opinion from a random guy on the internet (me): since the under-bed storage is not in a Schwintek slide (situation in my 315RLTS) as long as total trailer's GVWR does not exceed the trailer's rating...I don't see a problem with your plan.

The other resource besides GD that you can consult is Lippert, the frame's OEM. Somewhere on your 5th wheel frame is a white sticker with an "RPO" designation. ( Country Campers or ncitro -- any idea where that sticker is on a 5vr?) You can call Lippert and ask if the concentration of that much weight in that location will have a negative affect. The pic below is my 315's RPO sticker as an example.

If an RPO is new to you--it's the system Lippert uses on all of their products to specifically identify what it is. Very important info to have when calling Lippert about any of their products (Schwintek slides, windows, doors...everything!)

Am I able to put 400-600lb under the bed? (The storage box that is revealed when you lift the bed)

Picture for reference:

I think that is just a tin box cover and not meant to hold very much weight.

Thanks. That's what I feared but wanted to check.

I have a 2021 381m that is too light on the pin. I am planning on adding weights (like bags of sand) to the front compartment. On top of the generator housing would be a good/convenient place to place a few. On othe other hand I wouldn't want it bending the metal. Is there a max amount that I should put on there? I attached picture for reference.
