Steering wheel angle while towing
Just picked up a 2007 Nash 27E. Noticed on the drive home the same steering wheel "problem" I had with a prior trailer. Wondering if anyone has ever seen this? It seems like with the trailer hooked...

You need to have the bars parallel with the tongue. Lower the L brackets and make the necessary washer adjustments to set the trucks front. Also lube and torque the sockets on the WD head. I had a similar situation with my EQ exiting an off ramp once. As I turned right off the exit the steering wheel was cocked to the left to compensate for the turn. Next turn was left and now the wheel was cocked to the right. What was happening was the sockets were dry and not allowing the bars to return to the normal position.
By having the bars tilted up like you have you're not getting a full surface contact with the bar and the L bracket. You're only on the edge of the L bracket. I was told by EQ that one L bracket hole is equal to one washer. So if your setup is good then remove 2 washers when you lower the L brackets. Or one washer of you only drop the L bracket one hole.
X2. This is the best overall advice so far. :)
