Steve, did you mean the axle of the 16 foot is a little further forward, proportionately, making it more prone to sway than the 17 foot model?

The Casita 17' looks like it was designed in part by adding a foot to the 16', entirely ahead of the axle. This makes the tongue weight really high, but the resulting axle-rearward proportions (of the 17') are good for stability.

Information is good. Lack of information is not so good, but misinformation is much worse. Check facts, and apply common sense liberally.

Yes I reported it backwards. The 16' axle is more in the middle making it more sensitive.

Also I noticed that the wheel well on the 17 crowds the battery box and water heater suggesting the axle is more than a foot backwards compared to the 16.
