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...

I tow with a 2012 Honda Pilot, and I can tell you what to look for.
1. The Pilot does not do well with a heavy tonque weight. Anyone telling you to go for 13-15% is out of their mind. If your trailer weights 2800lbs ish....shoot for a 280-300lbs tongue weight.
2. You dont need a WDH at that weight.
3. Check tire pressures of both the trailer and the Pilot. The trailer should be at max cold, and may be try bumping the Pilot up too.
4. Check the angle of the trailer. It shoud be level, or pointed slightly down.
