29h Class C Toy hauler garage weight distribution

I'm going to be installing 3 aluminum dog crates in the garage of my class C 29h Outlaw toy hauler. I would like to install them across the rear close to the tailgate so I can get the dogs out from either side. My dogs & crates weigh about 250 lbs. in total. The 3 crates will be 42" long. All 3 crates side by side will be 88" wide. All 3 crates will face forward. I'll have some other gear in the garage as well - about another 150-200lbs. Does putting the dog crates about 12 inches away from the tailgate across the back create a weight distribution concern. The crates will a custom item so I can't return them. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

I don't see any problem. I carry a 920lb Harley, spare tire and a tool bag in the garage. Fully loaded my rear axle weight is maxed out. Added sumo springs and coach handles great.

I agree; my Spyder weighs in at a touch over 1,100 pounds...
Your 29H won't even notice that they're back there!

Thanks for the info. Didn't want to make an expensive non-refundable mistake.
