Looks well set up.

Just installed some ride rite coil spring bags, thought i would share a before and after. It made quite a difference in the ride and squat. My tongue weight is around 700 lbs, TT is 26ft hitch to tire and 5,300 lbs. Using a Recurve r3 WDH

Did that change your unloaded ride quality at all?

Haven't noticed a change yet. I release the air in the bags and inflate them to 5 lbs PSI without a trailer and 50 lbs PSI with the trailer

Actually looks a bit high on the after picture (the nose of the trailer). That could induce sway.

I'm surprised he can still get traction with his butt in the air like that.

I'm very interested in your "after" ride comfort. I have Timbrens and it's great when I tow but the rest of the time, not too happy.

Just bought one yesterday as it's just the Mrs. and I these days and it looks like a really great "couples coach". Sadly, I won't be able to pick it up until mid-May as the RV dealers are overwhelmed with demand and that was the first available window for dealer prep, adding an exterior coating, etc.. Looking forward to the ownership experience and to SAFELY towing it based on insight I've learned here on the forums (e.g. how to install the trailer brake, load capacity, etc.).

Better start seeking reservations. The RV dealers are busy and the campgrounds are packed. Good times

No kidding. I’ve already made a few 2022 reservations.
