So I just got off the phone with a gentleman at Hensley and he made an interesting comment in regards to my current Reese DC hitch and a travel trailer with a sloped front wall. I was explaining to him the trouble I'm having getting it dialed in just right and he asked me about the the "slope" on the front wall.
He went on to say that trailers such as mine will actually cause "lift" at higher speeds, resulting in a loss of tongue weight, the faster you go, thus reducing the amount a friction on the cams.
That make sense to you guys? That sure does coincide with the way it feels above approx. 55/60 mph.
At legal and sane towing speeds, I don't believe the effect is enough to cause any real change in tongue weight.
But lets say lift at speed is adding to your issue. Simply add more tongue weight to prove it out.
But what is the problem that has you asking questions?
