This points to the camper maybe not balanced just right yet, truck tires being an issue and WD not set correct followed by possibly a nose high camper.
While we haven't talked specifically about levelness of the rig, I don't think nose-high is the problem. Reason I say that is because the TT tows better when the OP tightens the DC. At 6 links it tows terrible but tows better at 5 links...taking that extra link raises the nose of the TT which in turn improves towing characteristics, so therefore nose-high shouldn't be what's causing the sway.
I agree that the camper is not balanced just right, but the question is whether it's even possible to get this particular unit balanced so that it tows right. What's amazing to me is how heavy the tongue is even with all that weight of the double slide and outside kitchen behind the axles. How did Joe manage his tongue weight to keep it under 1250?
