Got a chance to go on a test tow after adjusting hitch and tire pressure tonight and also get it weighed. The drive was SO much better, but still not as good as my truck was, however it was night and day to Saturday. I think if I can make more hitch adjustments, I can make it even better.
I really wanted to go up one more notch on the Equal-i-zer, but I didn't feel comfortable as its a 10K hitch. With my tongue weight over the 1K limit, I need to upgrade. I think I'm going to jump to the 14K hitch tomorrow. I probably should have upgraded when I changed the camper 2 years ago.
With the hitch how I have it set today my front axle weight is 3100 with the camper on. With the camper off, I'm at 3380. I feel like I need more weight on the front wheels still.
I can't even guess how little weight was on the front axle before my changes to the hitch.
I'll test again on the new hitch & adjustments and report back.
Thanks for keeping me from going out to buy more gear.
