Don't take my comments the wrong way. I know this is all new to you and you're still learning. We've all been there at some point.
Actually if you read the OP's original post you'll note he's not a newbie at all, having owned travel trailers previously, also equipped with weight distribution. I also have to disagree with another poster's comment that it's a "shame" that as RV owners we need to have some understanding of how the various systems work. The reality is that we all need to take a certain degree of ownership for our rigs, including the importance of understanding trailer gross weight, trailer gross tongue weight, and how that relates to weight distribution. For any trailer owner to not have any idea at all how much their trailer typically weighs when loaded for camping nor it's related gross tongue weight and to rely solely on a dealer to tell them is just inviting the sort of errors the OP has described. Critical I suppose but one might reasonably aruge the OP's Sway Pro issues were self induced, which is particularly unfortunate as he still hasn't modified the title of his thread discussion that as it is now reflects badly on Blue Ox which as we now know after all these pages of discussion bear no blame at all for the OP's unfortunate experience.
I was referring to the new hitch setup. Same basic principal as all the others, but with different components that are new to the OP. While I'm normally pretty good with RTFM, there's been many times in my life where I've exclaimed, "My new toy is here! F the manual! I'm ready to play!" That was normally followed by several minutes of swearing about how terrible of a design the product was. That is until my wife, who decided to help by actually reading the manual, points out what's wrong or needs to be adjusted lol. Meh, it happens. At some point in our lives we've all fired off an unjustified complaint toward a manufacturer.
I think the OP acknowledges the error of his way. You got the quarterback wrapped up. You don't have to pick him up and drill him into the ground lol. SoundGuy you're all right with me, but sometimes you come off as smooth as #4 steel wool lol.
