First, Howdy and Welcome to iRV2.com.
I am probably the last one to say your OK, but the weights you show look like you should be OK. As far as the saging goes, you should town your trailer level. The main reason is it keeps you from swaying to much. When we bought our Bayside 19' pup, it was rated at 3400 we had a Explorer the weight was ok and it towed great untill we filled the tank with water then anything over 40 was a fieght. I asked around and was told I neded a Weight distributiion hitch. We got one and had no problem with sway any more. Your new trailer if you get it will have brakes so be sure to have a good break control atached and show your co piolet how it works. if by any chance it starts to sway real bad you need 2 hands to control the situation , and your co piolet can hit the controller several times to straighten you out if need be. We had that problem one time after everything was set up right when a school bus pulled out in front of me at 50 MPH and I had to swerve away Cheri hit the control 3 times and I held the wheel and we got it under control fast with no real problem. Have you tried weighing your pup now to see what you bring with you, You will transfer all that to a new rig, and I am sure you will add more because of the room. Keep thatin mind.
You will get more advice so make a list.
Have fun.
but I learned to miss more than hit eventually. We did have one portion of the trip that we had problems with swaying (Utah into Wyoming) but the wind was blowing pretty strong and the next time we pulled on the road we put more weight to the front of the PUP and that seemed to help. We did install a brake controller before we left and that was nice... until the last day and it stopped working. We still need to see if it is a loose wire or a problem with the unit. Otherwise, as long as we ran premium/super in the gas tank we just sailed over the mountains. Overall a very fun trip and we're looking forward to our next camping adventure in our new home-away-from-home on wheels.
