I posted a topic earlier RE: towing 7000# TT with Dodge Ram 1500
I am experiencing an unstable tow seems floaty like the trailer just doesn't want to settle in and ride nice behind the truck.
Checked tongue weight of about 840# Trailer is gross weight of 7500# currently don't know the exact weight but certainly could not be over that or at least better not empty weight is 5800# according to Starcraft.
So with everything that I have verified is right or wrong hitch seems setup right, tongue weight should be ok, One thing that I have found wrong is when the dealer installed the hitch they put bars rated for 501 to 800# tongue weight. I am over that and still almost empty trailer, my question is would the under rated bars be a possible cause for the unstable ride in the trailer?
