Hi John, yes swinging ahead (forward/backward).
No, all tanks were empty.
Correct, using the weight distribution hitch
No, no lose play.
I'm pretty sure it was light stop in most cases. The issue that it happened just a number of times... I will do the wheel/bearing service in next few weeks, maybe I will find an answer for that.

Thanks for the EZ lube advice, looks like the old method is way to go.

OK, it is not water slosh then.

Do you have self adjusting brakes or manual adjust?

Is it a pulsating type feeling? Meaning this give and take back and forth feeling happens when you put your foot on the brakes, but stops once you release the brake pedal?

Let me know. I have seen a brake issue create that pulsating feeling, but need the above info before I go down the road trying to explain what I found causing it.

It's self adjusting brakes.
No, it's not pulsating, not sure how to explain, more like jerking...

OK, I know the self adjusting trailer brakes.

1. Do you "only" feel the "jerking", whenever it happens, occur when you are applying the brakes and then "stops jerking" when you stop applying the brakes?

2. OR, does the jerking start when you have applied the brakes, and may continue for a short while even after you stop applying the brakes?

3. The key point it, the issue "starts" with a braking action, yes or no?

Please answer all 3.
