I know low tongue weight can cause sway but never had experience with high tongue weight... do you think that high percentage of tongue weight effects handling in a positive or negative way?
i've never used any sway control, just a reese trunion WDH and it's always been super stable. the tongue weight without battery or propane was listed at 465lb. add 55 for the battery and 50 for propane, a heavy queen mattress on the bed right up front and the fresh water tank slung under the floor in front of the axles makes for a heavy tongue weight.
