    The weight distribution bars were not well adjusted when i took the 32ft. I corrected them and it's much more level now!

    Anyone have any recommendations as to aftermarket shocks that can improve towing and the "bounce" I feel from my single axle camper trailer? Not looking to "lift" the truck but as I said improve the ride and handling. Thanks!

    250 miles today with my brother's catering trailer. 3300 lbs, 400 on the tongue, and first use of the imported Australian brake controller. Easy drive, 15 mpg average.

    [​IMG]

    There's a one axle at a time scale 3 miles from my house, it bounces around some so numbers are +/- 40lbs or so.

    That's why you use a WDH. You will get your front end weight back and more

    I'm all for using a WDH, but my situation is not at all an example of when one is needed. Tongue weight falls right on the money for ideal trailer balance with 12% on the truck, I only lost 100 lbs off the front bringing the truck itself to near perfect 50/50 weight distribution, and the trailer itself is dual axle and not terribly heavy.

    Worked great. Excellent resolution on fine tuning balance. Manual control is simple I/O so I could see that being an issue for some, but it doesn't bother me. Haven't had a chance to play with the off road settings yet, don't know that I ever will.

    Does anyone know of any trailer brands that manufacture enclosed trailers with Roll-up style doors like on u-haul trailers or your own garage door.
