Why is my Fastway e2 HITCH TRUNNION trailer swaying?
Trailer sway in Fastway Automobile Accessories can occur due to several reasons: * **Light tongue weight:** To resolve this, determine the gross trailer weight (GTW) and tongue weight (TW). Ensure the TW is at least 10% of the GTW, adhering to the trailer manufacturer's guidelines. Adjust the load distribution in the trailer to achieve the correct TW/GTW ratio and remove any cargo carriers or a second trailer from the rear. * **Improperly rated or under-inflated tires:** Make sure that your tires are inflated correctly, or replace them with properly rated tires. * **Tow capacity exceeded:** Reduce TW and GTW, or use a tow vehicle with sufficient tow ratings. Do not tow if either capacity is exceeded. * **Hitch undersized:** Check that your GTW and TW do not exceed your hitch’s tow...
