Hey glovedad, When you put this together, I strongly recommend that you invest in a good weight distribution hitch with sway control. When I purchased my 2013 280FKSB Blackstone, I purchased the equalizer brand hitch. It did a fairly good job at controlling sway, but on a trip from Oregon to Yellowstone, towing with my 3/4 ton Ram diesel I experienced a white knuckle experience with sway, even with the equalizer (and to anyone wondering, yes, it was set up correctly) hitch. I could also feel quite noticeably when big rigs passed as well. Upon returning home, I did more research and ordered a Pro Pride 3P hitch and installed it. I have made three trips with the new hitch and I can say that this hitch is a sway elimination hitch vs a sway control hitch. The TT tracks like it is on rails and cannot feel big rigs passing anymore. Some will say that it's too expensive, but to me the added safety of the precious cargo I have with me was worth every cent that this PP hitch cost. Regarding quality of the trailer, I am convinced that every TT made no matter what brand, are lacking in attention to detail. I have had several quality issues with the Blackstone as well and it's Outdoor RV's flagship!
Cheers,
