I bought a 28 MKS last year to tow with my 2012 F-150 Ecoboost using a Reese Steadiflex WD anti-sway hitch. The first trip went ok, but I noticed a lot of minor sway on the tail end. The trailer is not balanced very well because of the rear kitchen, so I assumed that it was normal for the trailer. A few months ago I was towing and caught a crosswind that sent me into a sway that was a lot more unnerving. I had been in the market for a new tow vehicle anyway, so I bought an F-250 with a 6.7 diesel thinking the bigger tow vehicle would muscle the sway a little better. I adjusted the hitch for the new vehicle with the front of the trailer 1/2 inch lower than the rear, so the weight distribution should be right. About 250 miles into my first venture out with the new tow vehicle, I was passed by two box trucks and the trailer went into a violent sway. I had up to that point and had even noticed the ease of towing with the F-250. I have read a few articles about the rear kitchen trailer causing this type of problem. I'm curious what others have experienced with this model trailer and how they dealt with it.
I ordered the ProPride 3P hitch, which is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I hope this fixes the issue and will let you know if it does.
