i bought a nice 5x8 tilt trailer today for hauling my f4i and soon-to-have dirtbike. it has 15 inch tires and is made of heavy steel. One question though, I was towing it home on the interstate and for the most part it was fine. However, sometimes it would start swaying back and forth, making the back end of my Pathfinder wag back and forth with it. Felt pretty weird at 70 mph. This was when the trailer was empty. Usually it pulled straight, but a lot of times when I was slowing down or braking it would start swaying back and forth pretty violently.
I got home and noticed that the tires only had 11 psi in them, so I filled them up. Also, I have read that I might need more weight on the tongue, which will stop the swaying? If so, what should I put in the trailer to weight the tongue when I am heading down to pick up my dirtbike tomorrow morning? Thanks for the advice!!!
