Bouncing on Concrete Roads
We just finished our fourth trip with our new trailer. Been camping for years with a smaller trailer, but just moved to a 31'. I have a situation that I need to figure out when we are on roads th...

Harmonics and what to do about it on an vehicle
All things have a natural resonance frequency and is compounded on any vehicle
Since a combo of harmonics in play any "ONE" of the suggested has some effect
The biggest is change speeds. Either faster or slower until that combo harmonic is out of it's sweet spot frequency
Then the things that affect the vehicle harmonic
Tires is the first big factor. From what PSI, to the tire spec itself. Like rim width vs section & profile. PSI is a bigger issue with TV's, as the load carry rating more critical than a non-TV. AKA margin between the tire load rating vs actual load
Shocks next biggie. Sometimes a lesser shock will work better than a stiffer shock, but the only way to know is to change shocks and retest going over that road section.
Suspension next factor
WD Hitch and the springs vs loading & frequency
Why so many advisors vs the OP has just a 'chance' of solving it for the OP...while it solved it for the advisor...
Cheapest first and that is change speeds. Next tire PSI...etc
Good luck
