Somehow I can't see how a lightweight Elkmont wouldn't be blown all over the road by the semis on the interstate, but maybe I don't know enough about them to have an informed opinion. I do know that our 3124KS pulls like a dream and I have never had any issues with sway.

Of course I've never pulled one, but during the tech talk at the Trailblazers Jubilee last month, Mike (son of the TM founder) talked specifically about sway, and he said the same principle and calculations for axle location on the Elkmont were used as those on the folding TMs. To me, that means sway
shouldn't be an issue, any more than it is with any other TM.
Perhaps some actual Elkmont owners could address this issue more fully, as Ken did above.
