Do I do that by unscrewing the assembly, and moving it up or down in the holes?

I have the camper fully loaded now besides food, and I parked in my driveway which is fairly flat, and truck was level, but *** end of trailer looked way too high.

So, I raised the ball up 1 notch on the Husky hitch. The dealer had it all the way down in the last set of holes. So I raised it up 1. Not sure that will matter or not, or if that's how you do it. I'll get it out next week into a really flat parking lot and see how it sits. I'll readjust if necessary.

We leave next week for Bar Harbor Maine, so I'm hoping I can get it figured out. It's a 6 hour ride.

To Husqvarna............have a great trip and enjoy it!!! Wife andI travelled to Bar Harbor and other sites in Maine 2 years ago and hope to go again next year. We tow with a 2010 F150 4x4 5.4 V8, and I love it!!!!!! Our trip was from W.Pa. so we took several days.

Thank you. Never been, but we would like to hit a lot of National Parks across the US over the next several years.

We went to Smoky Mountain National Park in Tennessee in April, and now we are doing Acadia National Park for a week in August.

Next up next year will be Glacier National Park in Montana.

At 60 psi the load capacity is over the stock P rated tires. I think it's the stiffer sidewalls on the E tire that make it better to tow with.

Here is my new setup I got a few weeks ago.

Put a level on the floor of the trailer and level it, then measure the height front and rear. Hook up the truck and see if they match(or just hook up the truck and put the level on the floor, but helps to have the measurement first), if not, adjust until you can get as close to level as possible. Slightly nose down is OK, but not too much nose down, that is if you want to run the Refer on Propane as you drive. They don't last long if run off level for any length of time. Truck and trailer being level gives the best handling. Just got back from a 3000 mile trip with mine, and the difference between the first trip home with an improper setup, and properly setup is night and day. Went through some strong cross winds, including a very nasty storm that damaged the front of the trailer from hail, and it handled well. Had some sway, but quite manageable. After the first 1000 miles of it, I got so used to it that it didn't bother me one bit, downside, once I got to where I was going, I felt as if i just stepped off a boat. Winds during the storm hit 60 MPH, but the hitch and sway control did its job and kept me straight.

If you plan on doing The Tetons and Yellowstone while in the neighborhood go there first otherwise the grandeur of Glacier will spoil Yellowstone and the Tetons. And while at Glacier take the bus tour unless you have a motorcycle. Going to the Sun requires a lot of the drivers attention and is not for the faint of heart!

Is that anything like Scenic Route 12 in Utah? That bugger had my daughter crying, my wife near tears, and my mother whimpering. Who knew that it would top off on a ridge with sheer drops on either side and no guard rails. I would NOT want to pull a trailer on that road, yet I was following an 18, who apparently has done it before a few times.

I just got back from Utah, 3000 miles RT, and man are you spot on. I saw so many overloaded vehicles, many of them should never have hooked to a trailer. I saw Jeeps pulling trailers nearly as big as mine, racing down the interstate. I saw a tahoe that was clearly overloaded, he had an equlizer hitch and it was incorrectly setup, the front end was much higher than it should be, and he also drove like a maniac, racing down the interstate wagging his tail. My setup is right on the edge of my trucks limits, and it is not a large trailer, only 28' and 6500#. I saw so many others pulling larger trailers than mine with similar trucks, and think, man, bet they handle like crap.

I think after experiencing 3000 miles pulling a TT over mountains, that Ford has overrated these trucks for towing. Yeah the drive train has the power needed, but the handling is just not there. Even with properly set up WDH and perfect load balancing, along with sway control, strong cross winds still move you around a bit more than I would like.

If I have to replace my truck at any time, I will most likely go up to an F250 minimum for towing my TT. Yeah, the trailer falls right into specs for my truck, but that huge massive wind sail can really move you around. Having more mass in the TV really makes a difference when towing. Especially when you consider the trailer weighs more than the truck.
