Sway Control

[oil8390]

Hey guys, I have taken our new single axle RV out a couple times and am struggling with the wind it moves the trailer quite a bit, I have a Weight Distribution hitch , it seems to help just a little, I also bought a sway control bar, I have been told that should help quite a bit, do you have any experience with those bars or is there something else i should try.

Thanks.

Make sure you have between 400 and 600 lbs of hitch weight for that TT.
Shortening the ball mount (to reduce rear overhang distance) can help a bit.
Make sure tires are aired up to max cold sidewall pressure. If P tires, switching to LT tires (stiffer sidewalls) with a lower profile could reduce side to side tire squirm.
The sway bar can help, but if it gets wet in rain the friction is reduced. And when backing up it must be loosened or it can get bent. I prefer a WD hitch with sway control built in, like for example Equal-i-zer or Andersen No-Sway.

Load tongue weight heavier. With the light weight tow vehicle it's never going to be perfect. Air your back tires up all the way to the pressure on the sidewall.

also make sure tire pressure is correct at all 6 wheels

good starting point would be to head for the scales and get your real world numbers. the tongue should have roughly 13 percent of the trailers real world loaded weight. going to 15 percent wont hurt and will likely help with the sway.

it is a 2019 Catalina Summit 172BHS and I am towing it with a 2017 chevrolet colorado. not too sure of the tongue weight.

should help, a single axle is always going to be a bit less stable but should be manageable. what trailer, what tow vehicle and what hitch? also whats your tongue weight percentage?
