Travel trailer hard to handle 2019 Ford F150

Very good point and the first thing to change when towing with a 1/2T truck. The P-metric tires are good for light loads to offer a good ride but they do have more flex in the sidewalls than the LT tires.

On my 1/2 ton Denali, I had the 20" wheels with the low profile Eagles and it didn't really sway at all with a 32' TT 8k net. Prbly due to limited sidwall flex...On the Other 1/2 ton I had BFG AT T/A Load range E's and it swayed pretty bad.

The Denali did have all the electronic stuff related to the brake controller (anti-sway stuff etc)..The other truck didn't have any of that.

I find I often know more about the camper I'm interested in than the sales person.

I find this to be true with a variety of items, I've purchased.

+1 and is the reason I don't have a problem going on-line or to another store to buy something - from small items to big ticket items.

I think the weight listed on the camper is often prior to being fully outfitted. Certainly before you add water, LP tank, dishes, bedding, accessories out the wazooo.....

Going camping should be a relaxing time, no one wants the drive to be a 5 hour white knuckle session. My brother went through this exact same thing, he had an old worn out suburban as a tow vehicle. It died, transmission went out on a trip. Now he has a F250 withe 6.7L, find the driving part of the trip to be much more enjoyable now.
