BarneyS,
I'll try to answer a couple of things here. No, I haven't been able to weigh anything yet because I may have to try to get the camper out of the path of ANOTHER hurricane. Towing with the WD bars on last weekend wasn't good--lots of sway. Instead of pulling the WD bars off I loosened them a bit and the sway improved slightly. Yes, a stock '04 F-250 sits a little higher in the back than in the front. We did front load the camper. Now I have a new problem--two Carlisle tires blew out on the trip--but that's another post. I'm going to check when I get home today, but I think my receiver is rated for 1,000 lbs without weight distribution, and I doubt my tongue weight is that much. The hitch was adjusted when it was moved from the F-150 to the 3/4 ton. I'm really starting to wonder if this trailer is ever going to tow worth a crap. It's pretty disheartening to struggle with sway and now repeated tire failures to no avail. That's the third Carlisle ST205 75R15 tire failure in less than 1,000 miles.
