Hi Drag,
Gee a set of weights on day 1. Outstanding!!! Good for you.
What I see in your weights.
Empty: Front axle: 4660
Loaded: Front axle: 4280
That says you are 380# light on the front end with WD hooked up. That is a far amount of being light. Equalizer has changed their recommendations in the last few years to have the front less that unhitched but 380# is a lot to me. On your truck being 100# light is not so bad, but 380# I would tilt the hitch head to transfer more weight up front. It will help create more sway control friction and it can improve the truck ride. Since your empty now, once you load the camper and the truck bed with camping "stuff" the WD hitch settings are all going to change anyway.
But again this is your first set of weights, it is a good start. You have to start somewhere and then tweak to adjust. Did the dealer even use a tape measure to set the hitch WD? They should of been able to get closer.
You mentioned 1,160# of tongue weight, that is not a correct calculation. Your missing a set of weights at the scales. When you engage a WD hitch it transfers some of the weight off the TV rear axle to the front of the truck and then some of the weight back to the TT axles. So your actual loaded tongue weight is less than 1,160# as the trailer axles have gained some weight from the WD process.
To get a loaded TW, you need 3 weights. You had 2, just missed the 3d.
1. TV and TT hitched and WD engaged. You had this one.
2. TV and TT hitched but no WD. This one you missed. While you are on the scale doing weight set 1, after they take a weight tell them you need to make an adjustment. Don't move the truck, use a 6" wood block under the tongue jack, lift up truck and TT way high to unload the WD bars. Swing the bars off the L brackets. Let the jack back down and the jack foot up off the ground. Now the truck is taking the raw dead weight of the camper tongue. Take a weight.
Then put the WD bars back on and pull off the scale.
3. Unhook the TT in the yard and pull just the truck on. Take a weight. You need one with the same fuel in the truck and all the other stuff or you will be off on the TW.
Now you can see all the numbers with and without the WD engaged. The Truck axles with TV& TT hitched no WD on, - the truck axles only, no TT = the tongue weight. You can also see the the front axle with no WD engaged and what it is with the WD engaged.
As far as sway, your hitch was not setup optimized nor the camper loaded with a heavier TW. Like I mentioned earlier, even a 1 ton truck needs to be optimized on WD and TT balance. You have a healthy TT there. You get the hitch setup better and the camper loaded to get the TW up, get it scaled and then it should help get better.
You have the right tools to do the job they just need some tweaking. You will be glad you got that 1 ton SRW truck.
Good luck and hope this helps. Post back how you make out too.
Thanks
John
