Aussie . . . understand, Javi is telling you that it may be the specific wheel base you're running now. Have you ever seen/heard of wind blowing across a bridge and causing it to oscillate? Even to the point it collapses the bridge (google Tacoma Narrow Bridge). Well the same thing can happen when towing. Your truck / trailer combination hits a harmonic or natural frequency and can cause major problems. If changing vehicles isn't an option I would try adding hitch weight. You can do this by placing more stuff in the front of the camper and less in the rear. Or you could fix it permanently by moving the axle(s) on the camper to the rear. You might also try adding weight in the rear of the truck, maybe a face cord of firewood. You need to change the balance between the truck and trailer.

Anyway, just an idea.


BTW > > > 1/2 ton truck pulling 9,300lbs? ahhh, yah. Good luck with that. However your weight is no where near that from your post. So I don't think it is the weight.
