Is my TT too big for long trips?
We are at a crossroads with our current travel trailer. It’s a 2017 Flagstaff 831 BHDS measuring 34’9” total length & a dry weight of 7195, GVWR 8761. The tow vehicle is a 2015 F-350 with a 6.7 diesel...

I have a like sized trailer with a 3/4 ton and a blue ox sway pro and no issues with sway, a slight push from trucks or winds but it moves as one.
I would get to a scale loaded ready for travel to be sure there is no issue here. Adjust the hitch based on actual weights and be sure the trail is level of slightly nose down.
The only time I would worry about lowing tongue weight is for TV payload issues which I doubt you have.
As someone else said check the trailer axle alignment or take it to a good truck / trailer shop to be sure.
everything else checks out you may want to get a better hitch.
