Lets see your campers being towed
Very nice! We almost bought the same trailer, but got the Vibe 308bhs instead. How does she pull on the highway? We just got ours last weekend and only pulled like 40 something miles in the country. Going on around 200 mile trip end of this month. I would be lying if I said I'm not a little nervous.

It is hard to do an A-B comparison with standard double axle trailer suspension since I don't have one to compare it to.
Heartland claims better stability, anti-sway, tracking, etc.
I have towed this travel trailer approximately 3,000 miles over the past 2 years and I find tire scrubbing and axle "clicking" is more than I would prefer when making tight turns, like backing into campsites, pulling into gas stations, etc.
With respect to any Wide Trax benefits, I can't prove anything.

When I drove over the road, the idea of a spread axle, at least on a tractor trailer is to haul more weight. It is harder on the tires in a turn but it does somewhat also provide a better ride as well. All my spread axle trailers were also air bag suspension.

Do you the 3.73 or 3.55
May I ask what rear axle you have 3.73 or 3.55
Thanks
8,000km's worth of towing this camper around the eastern Canadian provinces and as far as Maryland during our two week vacation in August. Total of 66 Nights spend in the camper last summer. The truck works flawlessly towing this trailer, its about the max i would go for a Max tow non-HD as i've got breathing room for the kids to grow and its never a handfull to drive. That's why we chose a mini slide model bunkhouse instead of the full slide models that end up being 1000lbs heavier and a ft taller.
