Towing help
I have a 2019 Ford F-250 and recently purchased a 2021 Salem Hemisphere travel trailer. I’m struggling with the tongue weight. I had a 25’ Cruiser Shadow and no problem there as it had pass thru front...

When I purchased the trailer the dealer set up my hitch from my prior trailer (Equalizer). I have some sway at times that I attribute to passing trucks or the wind but on 2 separate occasions I had sway events that made me very uncomfortable. Because of that I took the unit to the scales. So between these numbers and the 25% weight distribution I felt like some change needs to be made.
These are the weights:
Truck only/unhooked
Front axle 4,820
Rear axle 4,940
9,760
Trailer axles 8,380
No Weight Distribution
Front axle 4,380
Rear axle 5,380
9,760
Trailer axles 8,180
With Weight Distribution
Front axle 4,640
Rear axle 4,920
9,560
Trailer axles 8,480
