Dealing with bow wave
I'm having issues with the bow wave from passing trucks. I have a Jayco 328RLS towed by a 1991 Chevy Suburban. I'm using a Reese Strait-Line WDH with 1500 pound bars. The front axle is about 100 pound...

I've been across the scales twice, but here's my last scale ticket readings:
Truck only:
Front:2660 Rear:3380 Gross:6040
Truck and Trailer Bars Hooked:
Front:2480 Rear:4660 Trailer:8280 Gross:15420
Truck and Trailer Bars Unhooked:
Front:2100 Rear:5200 Trailer:8140 Gross:15440
Some things I noticed:
Truck = 6040, Truck and trailer = 15420, meaning trailer alone is 9380#. With a GVWR of 9500# Trailer is loaded to 120# of max. I hope that scale weight was with trailer fully loaded with food, clothes, and water.
Truck only: Front:2660
Truck and Trailer Bars Hooked: Front:2480
Taking 180# off the front wheels is not good.
