I pull a 24AS also. We travel full time (we work remotely). I was using a power wagon, with the 6.4 hemi. Switched to a Denali HD 3500 srw a few weeks ago and we've had a poor towing experience since then... So I'm looking for options and opinions.
The bottom line is this trailer is ment to haul toys, and we do not haul a toy. My tongue weight is 2200 - 2300 lbs. (I bought a scale to weigh the tongue) the truck simply isn't able to handle this tongue weight. I've added air bags, stable loads, blue ox 2000lbs hitch and a geny hitch. All of these combined have not helped with the bucking. On smooth road, or sitting still, the rear is 2" above the front. The trailer is also dialed in and within 1.5 inches of being level, with the tongue slightly lower.
The issue we are having is the truck bucks or porpuses like a sea saw. It's horrible. We really want to keep this camper, but may switch to a 5th wheel.
I'm considering having brackets created to hold tractor weight plates behind the rear axle of the trailer, and hang a winch and bumper on front of truck.
Did not have this problem in the power wagon - it rode great, but the hemi was working really hard to pull it, and fuel economy was under 6mpg.
Any feedback is appreciated.
