Truck bounce
So we recently replaced our Envoy with a Tundra and towed with it the first time the other day. The ride was pretty bumpy on the way to the campground (60mph) but was fairly smooth on the ride back (40mph).
The camper is a KZ Sportsmen 242SBH with a GVWR of 6000lbs. The truck is within all the ratings (payload, gcvwr, etc). We are using the same Reese Dual Cam hitch we used with the other tow vehicle but reconfigure it for the truck. The trucks front axle is at the same height it was at before hooking up and the rear sank by 1". The camper is almost level while hooked up (maybe 1/2" off). The bars are rated at 800 lbs.
I'm not sure if it matters but on the Reese DC instructions it states that the top of the ball should be 3/4" to 1" higher then the top of the coupler when unhooked which was not possible. My options were either 2" higher or the same height as a coupler, we went with the same height.
The picture below was taken while being on a slight incline.
