- downtheroadExplorerWell, I'm about 3000 miles away, but it looks good to me from here.
How does it tow? - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIILooks like it's level and truck has balanced loading
Now take it to a weigh scale and get your numbers loaded up for a camping trip
Truck/trailer with WDH
Truck/trailer w/o WDH
Truck only - Kylesmith3021ExplorerYea setup is dry so i made it a half inch higher so when im loaded with gear it will flaten out..tows great except for a little sway with winds
- myredracerExplorer IILooks good at the moment but tongue weight *can* go up a lot when fully loaded. How did you adjust the spring bars? Measure the front fender heights? Have the appropriate psi in all tires? Have friction sway bar(s) on the hitch?
The proof will be how it handles fully loaded up for camping (incl. gear, groceries, pets and passengers in truck) and you are on a highway at speed. You may need to adjust the spring bars and head angle in the beginning until you get it optimized. Going to a scale is always a good idea to get the TT, TV and tongue weights.
A close-up pic of the hitch may help. - dodge_guyExplorer III would get rid of the snow!
It looks setup very well. Trailer level, truck just slightly down in the rear, looks like good Weight Distribution! I see no problems. How does it tow? Are you loaded for a trip there, or is it empty? - Kylesmith3021ExplorerYea its emtpy..more snow on its way in western ny and a balmy 20 degrees today..i just followed instructions on amount of washers and bar height..hitch height i just called manufacturer of trailer and they sent me the specs
- JWRobertsExplorerLooks good. A little sway in the wind is normal.

No! He needs that for setting up after dark. However overpasses will be an issue!:E
BTW.....welcome to the forum! - TomG2ExplorerIt "looks" good, if that is what you want to hear.
If you want a meaningful evaluation, provide specs, measurements, and weights of the hitch, trailer, and tow vehicle.
