Picture a travel trailer with the wheels at the very rear of the trailer and the load just in front of the axles. That would be ideal and would induce no sway. Try to get as close to that as possible. Even with proper tongue weight, a long heavy overhand out back will try to induce sway. Wife gets what she wants but I draw the line at a rear kitchen anymore. Our rear kitchen 32' 5th wheel used to sway. Could barely feel it in the truck but I could see it in the mirrors. Groceries and kitchen stuff add up real quick. With our 32.5' TT, she can load all she wants into it as long as it's in front of the axles. If your trailer were mine, I'd increase tongue weight by reducing weight aft of the axles. Just my preference but I would employ a Reese HP Dual Cam as well.
