Trailering with 99 Chevy Tahoe	Buddy Newman	9-24-06
I have a 1999 Chevy Tahoe. I just purchased a 2007 Captiva 207RS. I ahve the wieght distribution hitch and sway control. My problem is when I pull the trailer the front ends seems very lite. I don't feel comfortable over 55 MPH. I also am being bnlown and pulled in by passing traffic. I have the trailer towing package on this truck. Is there anything out there to beef up the rear suspension? Would this solve my problems?

It would seem to me that your hitch isn't set properly.

I have a '97 Tahoe pulling a Four Winds 18b (23.5') TT (about 5000 pounds) with no problems. A couple things that might need adjusting. 1) You might need to go another link on your weight distribution hitch. Check with any reputable RV center to help you there. 2) Have you tried tightening your sway bar? 3) what cargo do you have in the TT? It is important to balance that out so that the TT is not too heavy either in the front and/or in the back. Heavy in front means more tongue weight. 4) Don't want to sound insulting, but did your RV center install hitch and explain how it all works? Do you have a clear understanding of how all of the hitch and sway bar connections work?

They went over all of the hitch instructions, but I understand what you mean by increasing the chain tension. I will try it. Someone told me that I also have the wrong kinbd of tires for this application. I have BF Goodrich Long Trail TA's. They told me I need to switch to an all out truck tire that could handle around 50 - 55 PSI max air pressure. These will max out at 35 PSI. Does this sound right?

What tires do you have on the trailer? What are they rated? D-rate or E-rated That would make a diference in the towing. I have a 30 foot 5th wheel trailer that came with D rated tires and switched to E rated after two blow outs. Inflate the tires on the trailer to the max. pressure. I pull it with a Ford pickup with Perrielli Scorpion tires inflated to Fords specs on the inside of the door of the truck. I would look more to the trailer tires

There is no such thing as a Coachman Captiva 207RS?
