question of AMA insurance coverage
Sean,
I'm glad your ok too. I have towed a variety of trailers 1000's of miles in my buisness we transport a lot of heavy equipment, etc... all of creation. Anytime you are loading any trailer you want it to have as much tongue weight as it can stand. Any weight in the ass end will cause it to fishtail and even a small trailer will drag your tow vehicle off the road. With tongue weight not only will it tow better but the load inside will ride better as well. You might also consider adding a load compensating hitch to the truck to the camper. This helps transfer some of the load from a tongue heavy trailer further up into the truck and would also cut down on the sway. The other thing to be aware of is that EVERY vehicle has a rated towing capacity and it is best not to exceed that. As Dennis also said if you can't tow your rig at 85 mph your truck ain't got enough ass. BTW the Dennis and Vernon always rag me for driving in the left hand lane but I can't stand the ruts.
