I have towed 5th wheels since '05 all over the northern part of this country and do not believe we have any chucking. Porpoising, as in up and down, yes, but no front to back in the pin connection. Thanks.
Light pin weight will cause chucking
Nose High towing can cause chucking
To much clearance between hitch jaws and king pin (slop) can cause chucking
Chucking...
Trailer constantly pushing/pulling against truck....regardless of road surface
That annoying feeling your truck is constantly being 'bumped' into
(like your kid sitting in backset kicking the back of your drivers seat) :B
Except 'chucking' is in both directions (fore/aft)
And thats why I told the OP to not worry about it until he gets a 5th wheel. Some have it, some don;t.
