Any troll owners give me advice about weight distribution/noseweight when using the under fixed bed storage? Do you struggle to get a positive noseweight?

It will be similar to our Triton 430 and the Troll 540. We travel with chairs under the bed and just a few heavy things. If the front seat lockers are full or we have a bike on the front we do not have a problem. The awning is sometimes outside the bathroom door and other times at the front or back. You will need to alter your loading depending upon how full you are travelling.This is where the premium jockey wheel with built in nose weight gauge is a real bonus.

We had a Triton with double dinette and frequently struggled to get a positive noseweight so I’m double concerned about using an underbed storage on the Troll

We don’t tend to have issues with nose weight even with underbed storage, as we store the awning at the front and if necessary fill the toilet flush tank and as Colin says the introduction of well positioned folding chairs seems to sort things out.

It's always an issue and you just have to be aware that just because the fixed rear beds provide a large storage area underneath doesn't mean you have to use it all.

I carry a 20ltr water container ( water for the toilet flush) in the front gas locker on my Troll, fill as necessary to achieve around 50kg noseweight.
