Changes made - now what???

2004 Itasca flat towing 2014 4 cyl. AWD Equinox. Last year on trip to Fla. from NY experienced death wobble several times - SCAAAAARRRY!! Key on ACC and fuse pulled. So now I have run a wire from battery to battery and am leaving the fuse in. I started out of the driveway this A.M. and toad followed well - wheels turned in the direction I was headed. After a few miles the wheels no longer followed and making a sharp turn they actually screeched like I was pulling it sideways due to this. It did the same thing yesterday.

Another curious issue - the tire under inflation warning appears in the controls for both front tires, yet the tire pressure when checked with a gauge shows they are fine @32 psi. Can't be a coincidence???

Putting new tires all the way around as I write this - wondering if I'm wasting money until I resolve this.

What is the level difference of your Toad Towbar to the MH hitch (using hitch drop-downs if necessary)? Just another thought, but you want it as level as possible.

Just "google it". There's lots of comments both here and elsewhere. Thanks for the drop down idea. I have an 8" drop down to level things, but I'll look at that again.
