Weight Distribution Hitch

Hello From Louisiana

The wife and I picked up our camper this past weekend. It's a Cherokee Wolfpup 18TO. We really love the floor plan and the extra room in such a small footprint. We have a German Shepherd and the extra space really helps. I wanted to share a picture of the camper hooked up to the truck to see if it's adjusted properly with the hitch. I think it looks okay to me, but I wanted to get some expert advice. As we were driving I noticed many campers that clearly were not set up properly. All the weight was pinned forward on the truck and the camper was riding forward on the bumper of the truck.

Thoughts?

  • Everything looks level, that's one of the primary goals. Second, if it steers well, just like it does when not in tow, then you are good. If the steering feels light, then maybe need to tighten up those bars another notch. If if steers like a log wagon, need to expand them a little. If it drives good, you are good.

    Congrats on the new camper! Looks real pretty! ... oh ... yea ... the camper and truck does too! :B (I can say that because I'm over 60 now! :E )
