Lets see your campers being towed

Trailer is 7000 lbs dry. Towed it 150 miles with the setup pictured, no sway noticed at 60-65, or any other speed below that. Lowered the hitch 1.5 inches and towed it about 50 miles. May have tracked a bit better, and still no sway, but it was so windy out it was hard to tell. I never towed in such a strong cross wind with such a big trailer, it can really blow you sideways! Still no sway but having the whole truck and trailer move sideways as a unit is a real eye opener! I use an Equal-I-Zer brand hitch with 1000 lb bars.
I was just comparing the pics of my truck vs your truck in regards to the ride height. In the setup of my WD hitch, I run it pretty tight and have returned the front truck height to stock height without the trailer. My rear height is lower than stock by 1". It looks to me that your rear wheel wells have a larger space than the front. That would indicate to me that there is not enough tongue weight. With a trailer that size, proper tongue weight ought to weigh down the back a little, even with a WD hitch.

About the same speed as your talking about not much just to notice next trip going to tightes distribution bars up get some more weight on the front of the truck. It will be my third trip with it.

I'll echo the WDH. Looking at your Pics, you have a lot of gap between the front tires and the top of the wheel well. You want the front of the truck to be sitting at about stick ride height if the WDH is setup correctly.
