The TT will tow great on an open road in ideal conditions. So it's not as if it's just swaying and bobbing on it's own. The problem is the pull of passing trucks and any wind. I know there is supposed to be some movement that requires some correction, but this feels extreme to me. It is downright scary at times. At this point we've had the camper out on 4 trips, none of which were more than a 3 hour drive, and none of which were in particularly bad driving conditions (a little rain once, some light winds, pretty standard). All of them were exhausting. I can't imagine what 6 or 7 hours will feel like, let alone a storm.
That sounds more like what I experience. Being on 95 in the right lane @ 65 and having cars and trucks pass you one after the other going 75-80 or faster drives me crazy with the push/pull.
I currently run a blue ox, and I have two sets of tension bars (1000 lbs and 1200lbs) and have tried all different kinds of combinations of tension with the TT level and slightly nose down, all are different, but none are really any better than how it tows with nothing. Again, absent traffic and wind it tows perfect. And for me, it isn't so much what I would call troublesome sway since it settles down almost immediately, but definitely takes some of the fun out of the trip.
I could probably deal with it, but it makes my wife anxious, which in turn makes it a miserable trip for me (but the kids in the back don't seem to notice...).
