Sometimes there is no rhyme or reason to it. I will be cruising down the highway at 65 and the trailer just feels like it steps out on me.
I think I notice it the most when changing lanes. Changing lanes on a curve even worse. The more I think about how it behaves it is almost like I don't have enough weight transferred to the front end.
I weighed the set-up last year before going on a trip. here is what I have: steer - 4040 drive - 4660 trailer axles - 10020 total - 18720
I used a Sureline tongue scale at home and measured 1475 on the tongue.
My tongue wt. does fluctuate. 1475 is the highest I have scaled and I have scaled it at 1200 depending on how I am loaded and if it is before a trip or after. The only flaw I can find in my set-up is I am running 1200 lb. bars on the hitch. I am thinking maybe I should try jumping up to the next size bar.
What is the trailer weight?
