Towing Question

I've noticed that at times my TV has a steady pull to the right when towing. Never happens when not towing and isn't always there when towing. I've tried to be observant as to when it occurs and it seems to be after a relatively sharp turn to the right. Is there anything in the wd hitch setup that could cause this to happen? I'm pulling a Rockwood 2607 with a 10,000 lb Equalizer hitch. TV is a Titan.

Mine has done that this also. It was because I had the friction bolts on the hitch head over tightened. It prevented the swing arms from coming back to the complete neutral position.

Side wind? It don't take much. Try tighting the sway bar or loosing.

Thx for the idea. I wondered about that. The swing arm on the right is so tight it's hard to move when connecting/disconnecting. Time to get out the torque wrench.
