The Excursion pulled the TT great! BUT...there is a bit of sway. I've got a Fastway e2 WD hitch with sway bars connecting the TV with our TT. But when semi trucks come up alongside us, or when the wind hits the camper, there is a bit of sway. I understand by physics alone there will always be some sway. I get that. But my question is, if I add a Hellwig sway bar underneath, will that cut down on that sway? Significantly or just a little bit? Or, is there another suggestion you may have about helping with the sway. Mind you, I can live with it if need be. But it does get a bit tiring to constantly readjust that wheel from sway. Thoughts?
I would recommend you get to the scales and make sure you have enough TW and then go thru and make sure your hitch and sway bars are setup and adjusted correctly. Something IMO is not right if you are getting engough sway that you need to adjust your steering. That TT weight is just too light and the X too good of a TV to be experiencing what I think you are describing.
