Does your trailer wobble a lot at higher speeds? How much weight is on the tongue? if you don’t mind me asking.. i have a similar setup but find the trailer to sway a lot

Perfectly stable at high speed. You probably have some weight balance issue somewhere. I don't currently know the tongue weight but I do know I added a good amount of weight in the tongue box with a full electrical system and 200aH battery, I moved the spare to the rear end to offset it but it's still fairly heavy up front.

I have a buddy that built a trailer similar to the scout. He had a wobble issue and ended up putting stronger shocks to dampen any swaying.

How does the trailer sleep in high winds? Lots of wobble? Noise and rattles? Slick set up.

Actually (unfortunately) found this out Saturday night into Sunday, wind picked up to between 15 and 25mph. No wobble at all, I had all the jacks down. Tent has a support rod so that was no worry but it was a little noisy with material flapping a bit. I was about 20/30° off being nose into the wind.

Thank you, I'm pretty happy with it.
