Got some weights today. Trailer is 6,660lbs, and the tongue weight (at the jack) is 500lbs. Now I know at the jack isnt exactly what the tongue weight is, because I think the farther ahead you get from the axles the heavier it'll be, but its within three inches from the ball which is close enough to tell I'm really far off. Purchased a few hundred pounds of sand bags today and am going to put them under the queen bed in the front. There is a big space there we never use. I'll do this one bag at a time while sitting on the scales to get the tongue weight I'm after. Does 13% sound ideal?
I think you'll be right on the money at 13%. I'm glad you got the weights. 7.5% is not nearly enough and explains your bad sway problem.
