Re: [VAL] sway control-hitches



A couple of things to bear in mind, 
1. When loading your trailer, balance the load, Airstreams are a very 
balance trailer. donnt put all the heavy stuff in the back, or front 
or on one side or the other. Spread it out.
2. Hitch height is very important, as well as the tilt of the ball. 
To high shifts tthe balance to to rear of the trailer, to low adds more 
tongue weight.

Somewhere, in the Airstream archives, there is a list with the trailers, 
weight, ball height.

Good Luck,
