My RV has a tongue weight of 550 pounds and when using your Powrhitch 2 on pavement I find it somewhat difficult to steer when making a direction turn. Why?
This question comes up many times and there is an easy remedy for this problem in most circumstances. The Powrhitch 2 and HD are not equipped with a differential type transmission. Both wheels operate in unison with each other as there is no limited slip differential type mechanism. This feature is very expensive and only found on trailer movers costing $3,500 and above. With all of the tongue weight pressing down on the machine, combined with the weight of the machine itself, there is a strong amount of friction between the tire tread surface and the pavement. This is what causes difficulty in turning.But as critical as tongue weight is to the process of moving your trailer, the good news is that you probably do not need nearly as much tongue weight as you have. It’s not a case where more is better. It’s a case of where just enough tongue weight to get the job is all the tongue weight you need.
