I was searching the web for some answers on hitch placements on our RV toter and ran across this web site that might be able to answer my questions. I have a 2003 Pete 330 with 185in. wheel base that tows a 38 ft 5th wheel that weighs 18k lbs. and when I'm towing it on rutted roads it's a struggle to keep it on the road when I get above 55mph. It feels like I'm riding on marbles. The weight on the front axle empty is 8k lbs. and with the trailer on its 7500 lbs. The 5th wheel hitch is about 3in. back from center of axle. The truck is a 4 dr with a schwable conversion with a custom bed. Any ideas how to fix this problem?
