Tow vehicle too short of wheelbase???
Recently downsized from 39' 5th wheel & one ton diesel dually to a 30' (box-34' inc hitch)trailer and a 2017 Chevy Silverado Tahoe suv. On tow home from dealership & 1st camping trip (100 miles total)...

Easy fix, you need more tongue weight, 15% is good, more is better.
And some people are saying, load up some water as added weight, while the mpg suffers, adds to stability.
Don't know the conventional wisdom on this since water can swoosh left and right and therefore by itself unstable, lol.

It depends on where the water tank is. If it's behind the axles, that will make matters worse. It could also increase the weight to the point of overloading the tow vehicle. But if neither one of those applies, it may be an easy way to fix a too-low tongue weight.
