I just got a Coleman 274BH, and drove it home with my F150. I weighed the entire rig, with full tank of fuel, and empty water/waste tanks. Looks like weight distribution is good, have 400# difference between front and rear axles, and 4800# for the trailer. I have a Husky WDH with 800# bars, The TV setup is incorrect though, and I am a little miffed that Camping World didn't go the extra step and readjust my hitch so the trailer was level and not nose up, I mean what is that $995 prep fee for anyway?
Anyhow, the winds today were very strong, 15-20 MPH steady with gusts up to 30+, and sway was a killer for me. It was NNW winds and I was heading southeast, so it was quartering me. I could see the trailer wagging tail on my mirrors, so drove home doing 60-65, took foot off the go pedal when it started wagging, with my hand ready to tap the trailer brakes if needed. While it wasn't white knuckle bad, it was still enough to make my first trip with the trailer uncomfortable. I don't know if having the trailer perfectly level would have reduced the amount of sway or not, but I am looking to get a different WDH that has sway control built in.
Hard to imagine the TT is lower than my horse trailer, and I thought it would be the other way around.
