Fluid Dynamics

gridloreAll righty! I've weighed all the fluids that will be going in Tramp Cripwire, and it comes out to 147.28lbs/66.8kg. Our fluids weigh more than I do.
Now, all that weight is on a one-way trip. The bulk of it is beer and vodka for our camp dues. The beer alone comes in at over 75lbs! We'll be drinking the rest of it ourselves.
Here's the issue. To balance the load in the trailer and the truck, I'm going to have to move about 74lbs/33.6kg from the truck to the trailer. I do have an easy out here. We always fill our three 7-gallon water cans, and never use all of it. If we end up with a full water jug, that will be about 60lbs/27.2kg, which should be enough to even the load out, considering the truck will have less weight after we eat all our food.
I still need to weigh the boxes and the propane tank, as those are the really heavy objects to be loaded, but right now I'm happy with my load plan. The Clothing Box, my bike, and our tools go in the trailer, and everything else in the truck.
If I'm missing something here, please enlighten me.
