Go to the scales. Be sure you have approximately 13 percent of the total trailer's weight on the tongue. That is it, that simple!
Also road conditions will cause proposing which cannot be entirely eliminated. Specifically concrete highways where the joints have curled over time. In this case, the only thing that helps is to adjust your speed to reduce the purposing.
