TV Pulls to right when hitched to trailer

I have a 30 foot travel trailer. I use a equalizer weight distribution hitch with it. The alignment on my TV is fine until I hitch a trailer to it then it pulls to the right. Could this be something with the hitch? Loaded or empty it does this and I've made sure the tire pressure is fine on both the TV and the trailer.
  • My truck was doing that also. Slightly noticeable unloaded but VERY noticeable with the trailer. I knew it was my truck because it did it with different trailers. I've replaced the front brake lines and so far I haven't felt it (knock on wood).
    Brake pedal feels MUCH better too my the way!
  • Is the truck lifted? Is the front end returning to un-hitched height after you hook up the Equalizer bars?
  • Check that the brackets for the spring arm chains are even distance from the hitch ball. If they are not even, when you tighten the spring bars it will try to center itself.
  • Trailer axles out of alignment maybe due to a curb strike or not setup properly at the factory.
