Sway Control HELP........

I have a new 2014 Zinger 33BH. Towing it with a 2011 Chevy Silverado 2500HD 6.0L. Power is fine but the sway seems to be out of control. Have standard 1000lb equalizer hitch and bars. Have tried to take up on the chains and even with out the bars still no good. At a loss as to what to do to control the sway. It whips me all over in my lane at 55-60mph.

Any insight to this would be helpful.

I would actually weight the loaded trailer and determine its tongue weight.

If the loaded trailer is 10,000#, then it's tongue weight should be at least 1200# (12%), to reduce sway. Perhaps some weight re-distribution within the trailer will help with this.

Your 1000# WDH will not be enough, possibly 1400#.
