I seen where you postd before about your trailer and sway. Something does not seem right. If you added 56 gallons of water, thats 465 pounds of water plus 8 sand bags at 30 pounds, I'm guessing, so 240 thats an additional 700 plus pounds added to the front. So roughly speaking you increase the weight on your hitch by over 400 pounds, making it close to 2000 lbs on the hitch also now reducing your cargo capacity to roughly 3500 lbs.
Did you actually get hitch weights prior to adding tank and sandbags? Also when loaded w/ atv's? How about now since making the changes? If this has already been posted drop me a link. I am following with great interest and would like to help solve the issue or find the mystery.
I will let you know Monday how I make out as we will be getting our 30 FS on Sunday and will be making a beeline run to Phoenix.
