When I placed the axle on my "almost ultralight", I placed it 38" from the back.
Now with a few hundred miles on the trailer and with the galley stocked with fixtures, but not loaded with food, I think the tongue weight is too little. Tonight I pulled the trailer without any extra weight, but without the food I would have in a camp trip, weight that would lighten the tongue even more.
I was driving on freeways for the most part, but I could hear the hitch chattering.
I can move the axle back up to 6" using the existing structure. If I go back further I have a bit of rebuilding to do.
Question: Would it be a good idea to move the axle back another 4 or 5". Or would I be better off to put in a little extra weight in the front, even as as balast?
Or, am I missing someting here?
Thanks in advance for your help.
