I'm still relatively new to towing travel trailers, with a 6x12 cargo trailer (converted to camper) being my previously largest tow. Our camper is 25' (hitch to rear bumper) and 8' wide. 10' high. So, I don't know if I'm experiencing sway or a too-light front-end.
Based on a CAT weighing, I know that my WDH is not putting enough weight back on the front and I need to work on that.
I'm typically going 55mph, sometimes 60 max and I have a sensation through the wheel that I can't quite describe other than it's a little more like driving a boat, with the steering slightly number. The sides of the front window on my camper line up perfectly visually with the sides of the back openable window in the truck. When I feel the sensation, I don't notice the trailer swaying in any of the mirrors, but I still slow down, as you're supposed to do when you feel sway starting.
What does the start of trailer sway feel like compared to not having enough weight put back on the front of the truck?
Based on this limited information I can provide, do you think that my issue is all with the WDH not putting enough weight back up front?
