I am talking about getting the wieght distribution hitch set up correctly. The angle of the hitch head can be adjusted to distibute wieght differently between your Expys rear and front axles. On my WDH, I can add or remove washers on the head to change the angle, thus changing the way the TT tows and how your Expy drives.
The dealer may get the sete up close, but you may have to "dial it in". When you look at a wieght distribution hitch look at the torsion bars and think "wheel barrow", If you lift up on the wheel barrow handles, more wieght goes to the front axle, when you push down on the wheel barrow handles more wieght goes to the rear axle. At least this is what I am talking about.
Some will post that you need a one ton, or semi to pull anything ... take it all with a grain of salt, there is a lot of good reading on this site and you can learn a lot from it. Stay within your Expys limits and you will be fine, it is an exellent tow vehicle ... just dont go too heavy.
