I measured the tongue weight when we got home and surprise it was about 15% more than the literature said. I purchased a sway bar for the next trip and removed one of the LP tanks and also put the spare trailer tire in the SUV. That trip was a bit more comfortable and also felt Ok driving in the low 60's. More research and taking the SUV-trailer combo to the scales indicated I would benefit from a WD setup, so I purchased an Equalizer WDH and installed that, taking care to follow the directions carefully. With the spare and 2nd LP tank back on the trailer it tows well, no noticeable sway. I did use a torque wrench to install the equipment and went back to the scales to verify weights were acceptable. I've rechecked the fasteners several times and only the angle bolt needed adjustment.
So far so good after a few thousand miles.
I have installed a lift kit and will redo the WDH setup next week.
