    Calling all 31G owners.......

    I'd like to connect with any fellow owners of the new 31G toy haulers. Would like to know your towing experiences, what sort of toys you are hauling, what hitch you are using etc... Seems there are quite a few stories of sway issues with these trailers.

    Thanks in advance for any help.

    I’ve only had the experience of towing it home from the dealer so far, but it towed good. I’m using a Weigh-Safe WD hitch behind a ‘06 GMC 2500HD. I plan on hauling a couple of dirt bikes and sometimes my adventure bike in the garage.

    Thanks for posting. I have the Weigh Safe also. Mine also towed great empty. I'm going to load it up this weekend and do some testing. Please let me know how it goes when you load yours.

    We have 2018 Yamaha Wolverine X4. We have a 2011 F250 FX4 Super Duty with rear air bags we tow with. We had an equalizer 10,000 pound hitch from our previous trailer we used to tow. We did three trips with it and we had a few moments when we got some sway going on. I had ordered a 16K equalizer which I ordered before we got our trailer but it just came in from back order. I installed it this past weekend and will be towing with it this Saturday. I am thinking the new hitch will correct the sway issues.

    Did a 2 hour round trip and mostly highway/interstate without issue. Seems to have made a huge difference. I can still feel the trailer behind us but not being pushed around by semi’s or light wind. Have another 5 hour round trip coming up Sunday so we can test it out a little more.

    I love the floor plan of the 31G and if I was in the market for one this one will be top on my list.

ID:	31726We went camping last weekend for the first time in our new trailer. Just wanted to share my tongue weight experiences. When I brought the empty trailer home from the dealer the tongue weight was about 1600lbs. For this trip, I had one full size dirt bike, two mini dirt bikes, and other assorted camping and riding gear in the garage. I also filled the fresh water tanks since we would be without hookups. My tongue weight was still right around 1600lbs according to my hitch. The trailer towed great with no signs of sway during the three hour drive from Western Washington, over Snoqualmie Pass, to the east side. We went through all but about 20 gallons of fresh water during the long weekend.
    When hooking up at the end of the weekend, my tongue weight had increased to almost 2000lbs due to the water transferring to the waste tanks. I was easily able to adjust for the increase with my weigh-safe hitch though and didn’t have any problems towing it home. Thinking about it now though, I probably should have readjusted the hitch after dumping the tanks at the rest stop.
