New trailer swaying, looking for advice
Hello! Brand new posting, but have read the forum for a long time. Brief intro.. We have camped for many years, our first camper was a 17 foot Palomino Stampede Hybrid. We towed it with a Nissa...

Well, yeah, Scamp never seems to change anything even if everyone wanted them to, I know...
But suppose they started buying axles from a different manufacturer? Or started mounting some heavy interior component a couple inches farther back, for reasons only they know? Something like that. Maybe even a different tire brand. Or some new employee is using a jig the wrong way and the axle is getting attached slightly crooked. Stuff happens.
I have always felt that 10% tongue weight should be plenty. But maybe I'm wrong.
I think some Scamps may have their fresh tank in the rear. If such is the OP's case, and if it's half full, perhaps the sloshing water could be influencing sway.
