FYI, my trailer is shorter and I checked the real weights as I do to all trucks/cars rvs I own. The tongue weight was listed at 540 lb? (500 something)
Take a guess at the real weight......920 lbs. Loaded for camping, 2 people for a couple days. The fresh water tank full.
Go to a scale and get the real weights of your truck/trailer, check to see if rear tires/axles are rated for that weight. Check your payload weight, see if your within the ratings.
Just talking about my case, my TV is heavier than RV. When a semi passes or I pass a semi, There is always a felt push/pull affect. Same as a car/motorcycle or any vehicle passing a semi. Some you feel the affect more. But, that does not create TV or RV oscillations. I use the lower end WHD and anti sway equipment.
