When I get close to 60 MPH on the freeway it starts getting squirrely and does some scary fish tailing until I slow down. Wind was not a factor. Its done it twice with the same load.
We picked up our new Stryker 2916, around the first of May. We have used it 4 times, and have a trip planed for next week and one is September. We haul a Harley Davidson Tri-Glide. I use an equalizer weight distribution hitch with with sway control, and pull it with a 2014 Ford F-350 6.7. So far the trailer has pulled flawlessly. No sway, no problems. So far the only issue we have had is reaching the ceiling vent cranks. If the dealer had said something, I probably upgraded to the electric style.

We had the same issue early on. I purchased a Hensley Hitch (used) and increase the tongue weight by adjusting the spring bars on the hitch.

We have had no issues since, and I swear by the Hensley Hitch. It works great. There is also a Pro Pride hitch that works the same way. They are expensive, but I found a used one on Craigslist for cheap.

We have had our Stryker for over two years and are still enjoying it.

I had an issue when my side x side was loaded. The weight of the side x side was taking weight off the hitch causing some sway. I simply lowered the head of my Equalizer hitch 3 inches and that did the trick! We bought ours October of 2016.

I'm thinking about selling my 2016 Stryker 2912. What is the best source to find out what it is worth?
We sold our house and are moving to Daytona Beach. Going to live in a house down there 6 months and in the camper in WI the other 6 months. We love this camper but are thinking of getting something bigger since we will be in it full time.

I checked NADA and it's saying around $30k for low retail on your 2016 Stryker 2912 in my zip.

I don't think it's accurate, though. (I didn't pay much more than that 2 years ago) There aren't very many used ones out there, so it's hard to determine values.

If I were to sell mine, I'd probably throw it on Craigslist for $29500 and see what happens. Good luck with selling, hope you get top dollar. Let us know what happens!

I looked out there too. Mine has a generator, 4 remote rain sensor fans, an awning over the slide out and an anti sway tow bar so it came to a low book of 34 and high of 41. Those things didn't come with the base RV. I'm going to finish out this season and when I get to Daytona I'm going to try selling it. I'll keep you posted.

so does your trailer sit nose down when hitched? Not level when hitched and equalized?
