Basics first.
What is your pin weight percentage and is the traler level when towing?
19 %
Per CAT scale weights:
-Pin weight 2,300
-Trailer total 12,000
Trailer is level to slightly nose down, about as close as I can get it to perfectly level @ 1 inch nose low.
19% is on the low side for a 5 th wheel. My previous trailer would chuck until I increased my pin percentage to 25% and no more chucking.
Interesting you are nose low which is better than nose high. Most of the 5 th wheels are difficult to get level and maintain at least 6 inches of bed to trailer clearance.
Truck is 2wd, so it sits a little lower, trailer is fairly tall with 16" wheel I have over 8" inches bed clearance.
Not much I can do to increase pin weight, except I will add some 6 volt batteries upfront in the next year or so.
