How heavy is the tongue? Tongue weight should be 11-15% of total trailer weight. If you don't have enough tongue weight when fully loaded, it'll be all over the road, and potentially very unsafe.
Being a toy hauler, too light of a tongue is also the most likely scenario.
This is what I'd guess is the problem. Tongue weight is too light.
One of my trailers is a 34 ft bumper pull and I always check it with a tongue weight scale.
Unless the OP's 1500lbs of "stuff" is ALL payload at or near the rear of the garage section of the camper, this is almost certainly not a light tongue weight scenario.
And at that, front storage compartment and fresh water are both forward or well forward of the axles. And "toys" will only reduce tongue weight maybe at a 50% rate max compared to their actual addition to the payload, just due to typical toyhauler axle placement.
