Thanks for all the quick responses!
I think my suspicion has been confirmed. The hitch height and weight distribution should have been setup with the TV on and auto leveling engaged. It was not. I unhooked the swaybars by hand easy enough without extending the ram jack.
I also apreciate the comment about weight for my TV. It was something I spent a fair amount of time researching. What I came up with is it is not a drive train issue as I have the 6.2 liter lt1 corvette engine (insert Tim Allen man grunts), 4:20s in the back, and slotted roters. But instead it's a suspension/hitch weight thing. Too bad they don't make 3/4 ton Yukons any more...
After much soul searching I opted to pass on the 5800 pound dry weight 28' with 1000 pounds of cargo I was considering. Instead for about the same dry weight I got 15 instead of 14" wheels. That gained an extra 1000 pounds of cargo capacity. They way I'm looking at it is that adds design margin not more stuff I can haul. I like to camp light and have no intension of loading heavy or carrying water beyond the dump station.
I'll take it back into the dealer with my concern about hitch height and weight distribution in Spring.
Appreciate the advice!
