Rear kitchens = porpoising?

A fifth wheel salesman told us today that rear kitchens cause porposing due to the heavy weight on the back. Is this true?

  • We have a rear kitchen in our 5er. Keep the coffee maker on the counter, it stays put.
  • Sounds like he wanted to sell you either a different unit on nothing at all! That is BS! Most 5th wheels don't porpoise at all. The will chuck back and forth. A travel trailer will do that on certain road conditions because of the type of hitch used to transfer weight. The other thing you will get if you are too light on the hitch is sway. That is bad
