I’m looking for ideas to eliminate the bumping & jarring we get from towing a new 3100 lb, Tab 400 camper, with our Subaru Ascent hitch. Other Camper owners note hitch weight around 460lbs, camper mfg brochure states 405 lbs.
My husband barely notices the bumping of the trailer against the hitch but it gives me a sore back & feels like whiplash to me and it that makes the journey unpleasant to impossible when we have towed it, especially on roads that are patched (most of the roads around here!). I experience no back pain when driving all day when not towing the trailer.
I will be sad to give up our trailer, but if we don’t find a good solution it will be disappointing but necessary decision for my health - disappointing as we just purchased the Ascent as a tow vehicle.
Thoughts?
