My last trailer was pretty small, the dealer set up my WDH and I was good to go. The dealer set up this one for me also, and all is going well with one exception - I found myself on some bumpy highways, and the ride is much rougher than with my old little trailer. It feels like the trailer gets bouncing front to back a little bit, resulting in a little bit of a jerky ride unless I slow down a bit.
So I'm wondering about the weight on the rear of my TV. The trailer seems to be slightly nose down, and it seems like if I try to level it a bit better (raise the rails on the WDH) it might get a little bit smoother? Or should I be looking at something else?
My details:
TV - 2007 Chevy Express 3500 15 passenger van, tow package
Hitch - Husky Centerline
Trailer - 2018 Passport 3290bh
My total vehicle length, TV and RV - 58 ft.
I hit the scales on this trip (almost fully loaded), and these were my results:
Front axle - 3380 lb
Rear axle - 5060 lb
Rv - 6460 lb
Total gross weight - 14,900 lb
Per the sticker in the door of my van my capactiy:
Gvwr - 9600 lb
Gawr front - 4300 lb
Gawr rear - 6084
By the numbers it seems like I'm in pretty good shape, and I want to take some time to do a better set up on the WDH. I came across this last night, and it seems like a decent guide to setting it up when I have some time to do it:

At least I think it is, I haven't really set one up before so I don't know what else could be missing.
My first thought is to try to just raise the rails on the centerline hitch and see what happens. I don't have measurements to base it on, just the performance on some bumpy roads.
Any advice from WDH pros would be appreciated!
