Thanks for the answers. The trailer is loaded for camping when we pull it minus water. It's not overloaded by any stretch as we usually go for 5 days at a time but each trip we usually add something new we decided we need ( chairs, small folding tables etc... Light stuff but it all adds up). Since it's a rear kitchen I'd hazard a guess the bulk of the weight is at the back with only bedding and clothes up front.
I used to tow a 24' sailboat that weighed around 4500 pounds. Once it was too far back on the trailer so I had minimal tongue weight and it swayed violently until I moved the boat forward. When I mention sway with my cougar I don't mean sway in that sense, but more of a feeling of the back of the truck swaying or feeling light. I will haul the trailer to a scale and do some weighing to see what I'm really dealing with. It just feels to me that something is not quite right with my setup.
Thanks again
Mark
