Do small 5th wheel toy haulers tow well?
Hello, I'm new here. Long story, but I purchased a new 2019 Genesis Supreme Vortex 2715V in April. I am towing it with a 2007 CC LB SRW 3500 Chevy and and have a RZR XP4 loaded in the garage. The h...

OP. The actual weight of the tounge is irrelevent. What you need is around 12-15% tounge weight. So for example if your gross complete trailer weights 10000#s and the tounge itself weighs 1000#s thats only 10%. Meaning 9000#s is on the axels. You need to get the tounge weight ratio up in the 13-15% ratio to get no sway.
Sounds simple right. Only need a few 100#s on the ball. Well when you start putting that weight on it cant go on tje ball. I was gonna make a 4 battery rack, 200# plus mtl. Well that was 4ft from ball so it actually only netted 100#. I then moved my spare up under the tounge. Figure 50# from rear to front...wrong got 20# added from that venture. I even went from a f250 to my ram dually thinking it was the truck. (Got the dually as I knew next step would most likely need it plus the F250 had 300kmiles)
I learned 1/2 ton towable meant the hauler was not for my use. Maybe a golf cart or some dirt bikes, even sport quads...but not SxS or Utility quads
