I think he needs a w/d adjustment
I saw this the other day. He did have a w/d hitch, but it obviously it needs adjustment. I wonder if it occurred to him that something is not right.
He had Washington plates and I saw it in Colorado. That's a long drive with a set up like that.

Doesn't look like a very smooth ride.

If he is lucky, he can take it to the dealer for adjustment, and leave with a brand new keystone!

Maybe he has the back of the SUV loaded with too much junk, pushing the rear almost onto the ground.

Even if the TV was level it looks like the hitch is still too low. These are the people that everyone warns you about.

I wish I had a camera handy when I saw an Acura RDX pulling an Airstream through the campground a week ago. The RDX's rear suspension was bottomed out.

What's scary is that he probably thinks there is nothing wrong with his set up.

That appears to be a GMC Denali. I believe most if not all have leveling air suspension. It could be that while parked and off the suspension has settled but will return to a correct ride height once started.

Frightening Trailer sights
This looks scary to me - on a recent trip to the Keys we passed a TV and Trailer that was so obviously in need of serious sway control - they were doing 70 MPH on I95 in the right lane and the trailer swayed back and forth so much that it encroached about 2 feet on either side of the lane markers with each sway - I told hubby to move over into the passing lane to get by this unit as I was afraid he would strike our unit if we stayed in the lane next to him - I noticed others giving him quite a wide berth as well - some things really are too unsafe for any road. Happy Trails to all.

This is when you really wonder if they think this is normal. I can easily (TOO easily) pull our 5er at 70+ when not looking at speedometer often enough, no sway would be back down to about 55, if it acted like described, I can't image what driving like that feels like, the drive has got to be exhausted once they get to their detestation.
You wonder what he would do on a road like this.
