Blue Ox Sway Pro Hitch
A year ago we purchased a new TT, a Laredo 331BH, GVWR 10K. At the time I was pulling it with a F150 EB max tow, SC. I scaled the two and I was within specs all around, but the truck never felt soli...

I had a similar situation, except I started with an Expedition and blue ox. When I upgraded to a F250, the trailer still didn't tow comfortably with the blue ox. Like you having to make constant corrections and still getting blown around, and it actually seemed to tow better with the bars disengaged.
Bit the bullet and got a ProPride. Now on a 6k mile trip, about 3k miles into it and I am completely satisfied with how the rig is towing. So glad I made the jump because I'd probably be back home if I still had the sway pro.
Personally, I think that these larger bunkhouses (with the rear slide) are not configured for the best towing experience. The axles should be about 1-2 ft further back, but they try and keep the tongue light so they can claim 1/2 ton towable.
I completely agree with what you're saying. My Bullet has a dry tongue weight of 700 lbs. Even adding 400 lbs of water to the front mounted FW tanks didn't do much to curtail sway. It's inherent with most of these long ultra light coaches. Spred axle designs don't help the cause either.
Unless someone has towed with one of the Propride's or Hensley's, they won't know how relaxed it makes the drive. Again, I can't rationalize why someone who spends serious benjamins for a home on wheels will discount the decision to play it safe.
