Hitching Help
Just finished our first tow with our Jayco 26BH and I think I need some help dialing in the hitch. First mistake was towing there with water - I did so as the park didn't have the water turned on yet...

So in the end I think I was tongue light. I just didn't have enough in it to properly load the tongue, then cranked up the bars at 4 links trying to get the front droops to lower than what it was without the bars. Still I'm just not happy with this hitch after reading more about Equalizer brand, the Reese Straight Line, and others.
It wasn't all awful. On stretches of nice road, when the wind was town it was like it wasn't there, so I don't think I was too far off from good. But at one road side pit stop, the wind was so bad my 9 year old couldn't even open the door!
You just answered your own question. Nothing is wrong. Btw looks like your hitch ht is just about right, if you're loading up the truck more. Imo , how it tows whether nose up or down a little is insignificant. But if you have torsion axles on the trailer you want as close to dead level or parallel w road as possible. Torsion axles don't modulate like leaf spring tandems so one axle or the other is pretty quick to take more load if trailer is not riding level.
