Not uncommon at all. That is why I made
this post quite a few years ago to help members get their hitch set up correctly. Before that, I used to e-mail members a Word copy of it when asked.
You have to realize that most of the techs who set up the hitches at a dealer are not RVers themselves and most likely have never actually towed a travel trailer on the highway. They usually set up a hitch the same way for every trailer that goes out the door regardless of what the instructions say. Also, the setup for a new, empty trailer are quite different from one that is ready to go camping in.
