stop the Bucking!

[MacMcCaskie]

On a recent trip we ran into a few spots on the highway when the rig started to buck violently (hitch moving up and down rapidly). The TV is a Toyota Tacoma Pre-runner with tow package, and the trailer's a star-craft popup. BTW, the tire air pressure was low on the trailer.

I'll be getting a lighter TT soon and wondered if I will need something such as a weight distribution hitch to stop the bucking. Or was it all due to the tire pressure?

In my experience a WDH can cause that by being either too tight or too loose. So you may want to play with the adjustments.
The biggest thing to stop the porpoising though was to install Bilstien shocks. They seem to have a lot of rebound dampening and it really helps. The Bils completely stopped the bounce with mine.

It won't make much difference either way. It is the expansion joints in the pavement. The only thing that works for me with my MH is to steer to the side/edge of the lane you are in. Also when on blacktop roads the bounce goes away. I have also found that the interstates are, due to heavy truck traffic, really bad when on concrete. Good luck

Get a 800 pound wd with that trailer and a sway bar. Make sure all tire pressure is set to to tire manufacturers specs. Also make sure trailer is level with truck. Use a drop hitch if needed.
