We got or camper from the dealer on I think Nov 8th. We did a local trip to a State park for the camper shakedown. Other than a couple of water leaks, all was good. (kitchen sink drain, tightened by hand and toilet supply line also tightened by hand)
On to the Andersen hitch. I set the hitch up at the dealer in the rain on unlevel ground with the idea I just needed to get home with it. Well, bad set up. I put too much weight on the front of the truck and on the trailer. Also, the hitch height was too low. It was a short ~12 mile trip, all went well, just did not feel right.
Before the next trip out, I raised the hitch height. just put enough tension chains to raise the truck bumper about an inch. It towed well to the State park that weekend.
I towed the trailer to Myrtle Beach on Sunday, Nov 19th. It was windy and I expected a little sway, but it was more than I thought, but the system kept it in control. I stopped at a rest stop, checked the rig levelness by eye (looked good) and increased the tension on the chains. A little better. I figured I would check the trailer and truck level more when I hook up here and leave for home Friday. This truck is a Canyon, crew cab, long bed and seems to support the tongue weight very well.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.
