12 year old trailer. I searched your trailer and I'm seeing trailer weight of 5683. Yours is about 1200 higher than that. Any chance you had or have a roof leak in the front of the trailer? Saturated wood gets real heavy. If the front wall has that much extra weight in it, you may never get it to where it handles correctly.
Thats where I haven’t been able to figure out on the weight gap and where my assumptions have bit me. I should have weighed this trailer a long time ago. There is zero water intrusion damage that I’ve seen and the trailer has towed consistently (bad) in the 4.5 years I’ve owned it. I take really good care of it and inspect my roof a few times per year. I think it’s a very poorly designed rv. I’ve got no water in my tanks, no propane, and about 150 lbs of cargo inside it right now. It doesn’t add up.
