noise when turning - towing Winnie Drop 1780
Hey everybody. Hope you are all having a great summer. Thanks again for the responses on the water heater problem. I am experiencing a "scraping" or "grinding" noise from the hitch area during slow turns. I am towing a Winnie Drop 1780 with a 2014 Jeep Cherokee using an equalizer hitch. I have greased the ball but got no change. I think this has to be friction related. I even hear the same noise with the anti-sway bar removed. It is the same pulling or backing up. Yesterday we took it back to the dealer for the water heater repair and i even heard a couple of loud "pops" during low speed turning like something was binding. I had another symptom that may or may not be related. Just as we arrived at the service center after a 135 mile trip, the trailer brakes felt a little strange. It felt like they grabbed a little bit and the camper seemed to "wallow" or "lurch" a little bit. I haven't changed the electric brake settings since the dealer set the control up for us. Do you think I should back it off a little bit? Thank you so much for all of the help. Michael
