Re: Sway problem need help
Thank you all for the advice. At this point based on most if not all of you who said to correct the problem and don't depend on a sway system device. I will definately put the trailer on a scale and check the tongue weight related to the trailer weight before scrapping the idea. I had a toy hauler but wasn't roomy for long stays. Toy haulers in most part are designed to haul toys with no slides or small ones. Since my problem I did start looking again and did fine a outback made in 2013 and 2014 that has large living area slide and a queen bed slide out. My problem is not wanting to buy a new one and can't find used ones. Maybe a couple years down the road there will be some used ones available.310Views0likes0CommentsSway problem need help
I have a 26H terry 26' foot travel trailer and installed a 4x8' platform on the back of the trailer. Designed by a engineer for my harley. Total added weight is 1100lbs. At 55mph the trailer sways. According to the engineer there should be sufficient tongue weight which I don't think so. I am using a reese equilization hitch with one friction sway bar. I am looking at several options but naturally don't want to go over board but want to be safe if I can even make it to work safely. I though of using two friction sway bars, to dual cam sway system to pro pride or Hensley no sway hitch. Really I don't know if any of the above will work. Without the harley no problem. The extension is about 300lbs and the harley is 750lbs. I would appreciate any advice including to scrape the plan of hauling the harley. Thanks Tom7.2KViews0likes46Comments
