I have a 20ft flat trailer ,no dove tail and I want to put my pop up and my rig on it.the pop up weighs 1000 and my rig is 3,800 which is a pathfinder.Im pulling with a titan and Im using a weght distrobution hitch.I have measured and it will fit but it will be tight.I was thinking of putting a hitch on the front of the pathfinder and pushing the camper on first and then unhooking it so I can slide the tounge under my rig or should I put my rig on first and then the camper?Im just trying to get the best tounge weight.what do you think?I tryed to put pics on here but I dont know how to resize them

knock the axles and tongue off the camper and permanantly mount it sideways on the front of the trailer.

Load it like you were saying and see how it rides. You may have to turn the truck around or any other combination of ways. It is real hard to tell w/ out pictures, but just allow yourself a few hours extra to laod it so you can switch it around if needed.

hook up and back the camper on. disco it and strap it down. Then you can look at it with the Pathy pointing front or rear to get your tongue weight.

I kinda see a math problem here.
you said your camper is 123" or 10.25 feet long
20'-10.25'=9.75', last time I checked pathfinders were a little longer than that
you could push the rear overhang of the camper trailer over the tounge of your trailer as long as you don't want make any turns
The only thing that MIGHT work is to back the pathfinder on all the way and then put the camper on forward with the tires at the back edge of the trailer with the rear overhang of the camper hanging off the back of the trailer
