Former trailer was a 65 Boles Aero 27-footer. This was a very well made trailer, on a par with Airstream (don't tell them that) It towed beautifully with just a simple WD hitch. No sway control.
We recently moved up to a 74 Boles Aero 32, (we like 'em old)
It's four feet and maybe 1400 lb bigger, at around 5800. Doesn't feel much heavier but at anything over 50 MPH it gets squirly, pushes the truck around and starts a slow sway oscillation that gains until i slow down.
The suspension is the same on the two rigs, double drop axle with a shared hinge in the middle. The 74 has shocks which i assume are completely worn out.
Tires are old but OK and filled hard.
So, where do i go first to look for trouble? I could add sway control but I'd rather address other issues first as I think this trailer should tow better than it does.
