Stability, hitch and tongue weight....
Concerned over handling of my combo - but I'm inexperienced as to what "good" travel trailer towing should be like. Problem: Occasional small sway (measured in a couple of inches each way, but can ...

Well, so far things don't appear to be improving. On the 70mi tow up, had constant "waggle". No official sway noticed, but I did have to keep both hands on the wheel pretty much the whole time, and "suck" from semi's was pretty noticeable. Cold, tires were 55f/60r. For return, added 15 to the front, 20 to the rear, making it nominally 70/80. Except for feeling all the bumps more, no change. AND at one point I got enough rear sway to kick off the trucks anti-sway warning. Kinda spooky. Only other change was direction of cross winds, and wind speeds had gone from 8-12 to 10-17.
Here are the results from the weight station:
Steer: 3560 3380
Drive: 2840 3900
Trailer: 0 6860
Gross: 6400 14140
I did have the WDH fully set. Should I have done another reweigh without the WD? Anyway to tell what tongue is from the above?
I did do the bathroom scale weigh when I got home, as traveled, came up with 1076 for tongue. After draining water, came to 872.
