Do small 5th wheel toy haulers tow well?

I just learned a new term.

Haha, maybe that's a local term or something I picked up from my dad, but that's what I have always heard it called when hooking up the trailer without the WD hitch on!

I had the same prob with a tt hauler (Stryker 2812). I was just about to move axels back to fix the issue as no matter what I couldnt get tounge weight right without adding dead weight.

I traded it for what in my sig line. 5th wheel and now I can relax.

Your striker is very similar to my current trailer. What type of machine are you putting in your 5th wheel? Does it matter is you back it in or nose it in?

I don't know if it is possible, but could you back the RZR in so the motor and fluid weight is closer to the front of the trailer.

I did think about that, but from my research the weight distribution on the RZR isn't that extreme. The other issue is it will be blowing exhaust into the trailer and on the fridge. Plus, the snake oil dealer told me that was the purpose of having the slide out on the driver side. So when you pull in you can open the door.

Thanks for the help guys. I'm pretty bummed out about my new trailer. I think it would probably be ok for a smaller machine or some 4 wheelers but the XP4 is just too heavy. Just for giggles, if I get time this weekend I will load everything up this weekend and take it to the cat scales. I'm sure I will get raked over the coals if I trade it in...
