tongue length
Posted: Sun Sep 26, 2010 8:15 pm
I have an 18ft open trailer, H&H brand. My tow rig is a F350 with a 10.5' slide in camper. The camper length necessitates a 24" hitch extension tube which by spec. limits tongue weight to 300 lb's. When I run at 300 lbs TW I get dangerous sway. I added sway control that seems to take care of the sway issue.
Question is. What are the Pro's and Cons of redoing my trailer tongue to lengthen it an additional 24" and remove the hitch extension? Seems like the trailer tongue is a better place to add length then using a sloppy hitch extension tube.
Thanks for any info.
