We pulled our 2024 294rk (34ft travel trailer) for the first time last month, from Phoenix to Washington and man oh man.... white knuckle driving for sure!
We pulled it with our 2019 Ford F-250 Super Duty Platinum Diesel with a weight distribution hitch and sway control bars. We live in our RV full-time and we think there is a possibility we overloaded the trailer. We tried redistributing the weight from items in the kitchen and moving them into the bedroom so there would be more weight towards the truck but it did not help. It doesn't help that we have a rear kitchen because the majority of the weight will always be in the rear of the RV causing it to sway. We eventually hired someone to tow the RV for us through the mountain passes in Idaho and Washington because we felt like we did not have the experience or the nerve to pull it after the amount of sway we experienced.
We have yet to pull it again as we are stationary in Washington for the time being. Sorry this isn't much help but it is nice to know someone else is experiencing sway like this.
Hi folks congratulations on your purchase, based on your post the only way to effectively resolve your issue is to approach your complaint with data. This starts by knowing the ratings and weight of your truck and the weights and ratings of your Delta. I would suggest that you locate your nearest CAT Scale(many truck stops are equipped) and spend the 13.00 or so plus a smaller reweigh fee and document your numbers.
Be sure to weight in the same condition that you would normally travel, including fuel and family members on board when you weigh.
If you never have used a scale, normally there are 3 separate platforms that you pull onto. Position the truck front axle on the very front platform, ensure the trucks rear axle is on the second platform and both of the trailer axles get positioned on the third platform, just move forward or back to position your rig accordingly. Once you have your combination weight, you can pull off unhook the trailer and come back to the scale with just the truck and reweigh in the same condition as your first weigh, less the trailer of course.
Once your are armed with your numbers , you can compare to your specs or provide this information to a hitch professional for recommendations.
I will share friends of ours have a 2024 Delta RK as well and they have said it pulls like a dream with their F250.
I am unsure of their numbers or ratings of their hitch and sway bars. They are weekend warriors, not full timers like you, so I would guess there is a substantial weight difference.
Research and factual data will lead you to a solution.
