Well I attempted to haul the trailer with tools + car.....not so good....the truck had no problem...the issue that I ran into was the front of the truck got so light I could hardly keep it on the road.

I took the car out of the trailer and I was alot better...so I had thought ..after getting a few miles down the road and up to speed the front end got light again swaying back and forth. It was a struggle to keep it on the road when getting passed by anything.

The gas milage sucked only averaged 9.5 mpg the whole 700+ miles

 

That's what happens when you don't have a weight distribution hitch and the trailer is front-heavy.

 

Would getting a weight distribution hitch fix that problem? If so where is the best place to buy one?

Thanks,
Matt

 

Can't tell you the 'best' place to buy one, but you'll want one for sure! etrailers.com has some decent prices, but I don't know what shipping would be like.. WD setups are HEAVY, so any savings on the Internet could be eaten up in shipping...

Go check out a local RV dealer and see what they have... All you need is a standard WD setup like an EAZ-LIFT setup like I have... I only paid around $250 for mine, but I bought it with my TT at the time... When I searched around for pricing at the time (2002), I found that to be a pretty good deal..

Thanks for the feed back guys, I'll be checkin on one when I get a day off

 

I had an EAZ lift WD hitch with round bars and Chains and switched to an Equalizer brand hitch with trunnions bars. What a difference! I found the best price at MakariosRV.com. It eliminated a lot of sway that I had with the chain type and it has a more secure feel when towing.
