Warning
: The tongue weight should he approximately 10%
of the trailer’s total weight, but MUST NOT EXCEED 1,000 lbs. And, under
no condition should it exceed the hitch rating. Your hitch installer should
provide your hitch rating information.
Sway Control Device
Although Airstream has not intruded into the hitch manufacturers field
of expertise and performed formal testing, we find the vast majority of
Airstream owner’s purchases sway-control devices.
When passed by large trucks or when exposed to sudden crosswinds the
trailer will be “pushed” and this action will be felt in the tow vehicle. It’s our
understanding the sway control devices will reduce the amount of movement
and make towing more comfortable and add some safety. Follow the direc-
tions of the sway control manufacturer when having it installed and using it.
