Not saying this is definitively the issue, but you could be seeing the impact of a small wheel-base. The 2015 Navigator has a wheel base of 119". Here's a good article of the impact of wheel base and the size of the travel trailer.

Im not saying this IS your issue, but something to consider. If you assume the article is relatively accurate, it basically says the first 110" of wheel base is sufficient/accommodates a 20 ft trailer. For every 4" above, you're good for another foot in TT length. So, if you assume this is close to correct, your trailer exceeds this "formula", by 7 ft. Now, Im basing that comment on the title of your thread (29ft trailer), not the trailer model (22FBS), which I assume, in reality means the box size of the TT, not overall length.
Again, not saying this is the issue, but could be.
