It is around 8500 lbs. Weight limit on trailer is 10,000 lbs. Dry weight 7780 lbs. The suspension isn't bottomed out, but I can see where this would be a cause if it were.
If the dry weight was 7,780 pounds when it left the factory, there is no way the weight of it, loaded and ready for a trip, is around 8,500 pounds. I know it weighs more than that.
I am certain you are over your limits in all aspects but one -- your advertised tow capacity.

It may or may not be over limit, I will have to recheck the weights. We purposely travel light and do not load any extra items not absolutely necessary. But, I was actually trying to get info as to whether other RVer's usually experience this phenomenon (within weight limits or not) on certain roads while pulling a travel trailer. If so, this may change my desire as to which RV I purchase in the near future. Thanks:h
The post above
The rink explains why your truck rides rough. No not all trailers ride like that. Tongue weight is what is your problem, it has to have 12 to 15% in order to tow correctly.
Test drive a 3/4 to pulling your trailer and you will understand what were talking about.
