Thank you all so much for the quick replies!!
I am feeling a bit better about things. Husband says he will heed the advice and adjust the WDH hitch. Also all our coolers were in the trunk of the car, we can move those around too to ease up some weight on the rear axle.
We just drove from Portland OR to the coast, 80 miles over a mild mountain pass, everything went very well. Husband said he wasn't worried at all. I was the one sitting in sheer terror!
I'm feeling a bit better about all of this. It seems that we may actually be within our limits, even if we are getting kinda close. I don't plan on pushing things! No steep mountain passes and hairpin turns for us. I think for now we'll settle in to our first vacation weekend, doing some crabbing and figuring out how the freezer works! =) =)
PS - do new trailers typically groan and make so much noise??
