I am just getting into a toy hauler after years of class A's.
I drove a used 2008 Fuzion and it had a bounce or jerk when I excelerated? Anyway to fix this ?

I don't know so I won't post.
But more information would help.
Like what size engine does the 2008 Fuzion that you drove home have?
I think I know how to get rid of the "jerk" but the bounce always seems to find its way inside the sleeves of my shirts too.
But seriously, what were you TOWING it with?

You won't get in any trouble from me, but I hope he warns us next time I need to clean the water off my monitor now.

Two differant trucks, and it did the same thing ... The truck I have is a F-350 Power Stroke 6.0 turbo Diesel no load had some water and fuel but none were full. The guy I bought it from had a big Chevy Duramax. He did lower the King pin bolts so it rides higher??? I will be putting it back where it was.
I have the tow ball in the floor of the bed (no 5th wheel)

Not being full is part of the problem, the fuel/water slosh back and forth and create the push forward. Are you using a 5th Wheel Hitch or Gooseneck? How big is your Fuzion?

Isn't just "Chucking" which is pretty normal with a fifth wheel with a standard hitch/gooseneck?

Empty the weight bias is off as the cargo weight balances the load. Having the hitch height wrong -trailer frame not close to level will also affected the towing manners. Having the the nose high puts extra load on the rear trailer axles....if extreme they will not have any travel left to absorb bumps. All fifth wheels will tug at the pin going over road transitions and bridge aprons. Personally not a fan of a gooseneck adaptor on a fifth wheel trailer but that is another issue that may or may not be part of the overall problem.
Good luck!
