Anyone experienced this...pogo stick ride especially on Wisconsin interstates. Your TV bounces up and down like your breaking in a horse. I think the wife has finally had the swelling go down from the raps she took on a recent trip in Wisconsin with the TT in tow but the dents in the TV roof are still there. Most other states we hardly notice the pogo stick affect. Can anyone shed some light on this?
We travel through Wisconsin, couple times per year. We're probably talking anout the same parts of I94. There's a couple of washboard sections between Kenosha and Madison, and yes, they are really bad. They're fairly new sections to be so bad, whoever put them in, should be forced to re-do them.
I've not heard the thing about trailers with wider axle seperation. I don't think that would make any difference on that road.
My wife has mentioned, she can feel a difference, since I started using an Andersen WD hitch. They advertise it, as taking out some of the bouncing. I can't tell the difference, but she seems to think those washboard sections are not as bad with the Andersen vs a drawtite trunion bar style hitch. She used to tie a towel around her chest, just to go through that section of road. That's one reason, I haven't tried my BlueOx Swaypro.
I agree with not spending a lot of money, trying to fix something that is built into the road.
