What weight distribution system are you using for your 1100 lbs of tongue weight?
A barely adequate one!!!
It's a cheap, generic WDH. Think it's only rated for 1000# tongue weight. I've got it tightened up to the max as I needed to get as much weight as possible off the truck's rear axle (GAWR limitations).
I put a separate friction sway bar on but with over 15% tongue weight sway isn't much of an issue.
What I ordered was a 12K Equal-i-zer (the brand name) but the salesperson at the dealership had no idea what that was. :R So I ended up with the el cheapo WDH.
The trailer's high tongue weight is because of the twin 6V batteries, twin 30# propane tanks, the big pass-thru and all the storage over and under the bed. We're snowbirds and live in the thing for 3-4 months at a time, so we bring a lot of stuff.
