We have a fairly steep driveway that crowns near the street. This means that when I pull out or back in with the weight distribution system (E2) hooked up there is a period ( a few yards) where the back wheels of the trailer are airborne. Is this OK? If not I guess the fix is to hook up the weight distribution system when everything is on the street?
Many thanks for any insights

I have a slight slope in my driveway and I pull the trailer out to the street on a flat area, which relieves pressure, making installing and removing the bars a lot easier.

Thanks. I should have said that the trailer is parked in a flat area, so getting the bars on is easy enough. That said, for peace of mind if nothing else, it's probably better to put the bars on once we're on the street.
