Steering sometimes a bit light

[BuddyTowRV]

I'm towing using the E2 Trunnion style WDH. At around 55-60 mph the steering gets a little light. Slower it's ok and faster it's ok.. other than avoiding the 55-60 mph range altogether - any suggestions?

Thanks!

Sounds like you need to transfer more weight to the front end of the TV. Measure front end height at the wheel well both hitched and unhitched. The difference should be minimal, like a half inch or less.

Or possibly one at the rear. Is the front of the TV getting lighter because the front of the trailer is seeing more down force?

You need a front spoiler on your tow vehicle. The faster you go the more down force to the front end.

Need more information and weights. I would immediately guess that your unloading the front end when hitched.

Knowing what vehicle were talking about would help.
