Sway/Reece dual cam issue with a F250
Ok I just about had it with my Reece Dual cam set up. This is my second trailer with it and I've replaced 4 snap up brackets the last one being their HD version. The cam arm mount bolts stripped out...

Per the scale:
Hitch weight is 1200lbs
Truck weight is 7600lbs
Truck hitched is 8800lbs
Trailer weight is 8420lbs (1/2 +or- load of water)
Truck and trailer is 16020lbs
Looks like I'm at 15% tongue weight with the bed of my truck empty.
When I got back from the scales I noticed this. When I remeasured after getting home the measurements were off so I flipped the washer things.
I flipped them and it now looks like this and the measure menus were restored. I also loosened up the the cam arms and recentered them on the lobe. Then drove slowly making turns per the instructions. Pulled the truck and trailer straight, rechecked them and tightened everything back up.
This is how it looks now. 6 chain lengths under tension. The bars are not quite level and not sure if that is going to be an issue.
It is breezy here with a steady 10 mph wind with gusts in the low 20's. Towing on the secondary roads seems fine. Out in the highway I felt the wind moving me around much like before. The trailer will move but comes back to center as I'm watching it in the side view mirror. I guess this is the best I can expect?!?
