Trailer bounce
We tow our 3124KS with a 1/2 ton pickup. Originally we towed without a WDH as the tongue weight (trailer loaded with gear in the back of the pickup) was / is still under the 600 lb allowable for my truck. Trailer towed smoothly and the truck was level. About two years ago I succumbed to internet traffic and bought / installed a WDH. Since then our trailer has been experiencing significant bounce damage. An example is the trim on the oven literally comes unscrewed. I do not have the bars set too tight (aka they are level when attached).
So we are embarking on a long trip from Texas to Virginia next week, and I am considering abandoning the WDH. That beast alone weighs over 60 lbs including the bars. And there is always the risk of the odd bite when unhooking.
Does anyone else using a WDH see similar trailer bounce effects? Anyone tried the WDH and then left it home? Appreciate your views.
