Sway issues with TH
We are new owners of a Adrenaline TH,25QH tried maiden trip and had dangerous sway. Above 45mph got scary. Trailer loaded with 2 light bikes was at 8400#, (did not get tongue weight loaded). Bikes weigh 800# combined, larger was full forward over the axles. Called Coachman and they were helpful, mentioned they have had to weld plate steel on the A frame of some trailers to get adequate tongue weight.
Dry weight is 7326#, I bought a tongue scale, dry is about 770# which Coachman says is about average. My question is - virtually all the cargo (toy)space is axles back - how can we carry anything and keep our tongue weight high enough?
Bought 300# of sand and shifted everything up front, still scary so we turned around and dropped it at home. Even bought the Equa-l-izer, to replace the dealer installed E2 12000# WD/sway control hitch while on the road, helped marginally.
TV is a 2016 F150 with ECO, supercrew shortbox. Had plenty of power, was lightly loaded, just my wife and I and a few suitcases.
Frustrated, as we bought the truck specifically for this, after advice from RV dealers. Do I need to design a ballast system for the tongue?
I plan on capturing various tongue weights as soon as I can, loaded, unloaded,etc.I'm assuming it is primarily a tongue weight issue? Any advice is appreciated!
