Just bought a used 2011 Shamrock 21 ssl and tried to take it camping yesterday and started swaying hard at 50mph. We had everything loaded up front. We have a sway controller connected. Checked tire pressure. Tried with and without water. Tried 2 vehicles. I’m really bummed because this camper is perfect otherwise. What else can we do? I can’t seem to get enough tongue weight.
Did someone modify the frame? the 21SSL is supposed to have an Toy hauler area in the front between the tongue and the RV. https://www.rvusa.com/rv-guide/2011-forest-river-flagstaff-shamrock-21ssl-toy-hauler-specs-tr9575
Something definitely isn’t right. Every picture I can find of a 21 ssl has a deck for four wheelers or a golf cart. Can you post reply with a picture of the full side of the camper? If someone took a 21ssl and shortened the frame to remove that deck you would have the problem you describe. A 21 without that deck would have the axles farther back in relation to the camper body.
Whoever took that on trade at the dealer is definitely in some hot water
All I see is an RV that could be towed by a Honda Silverwing
Need a follow up on what happens!
oh my goodness. this is nuts bad
This is crazy. Been in the business a long time and have never seen something like this mod. I’m guessing the dealer didn’t realize. If I brought that in on trade we just would end up unwinding the deal. The only way to “fix” it is some serious axle relocation, not certain there is enough frame to do so. Crazy, keep us posted.
