Trailer Vibration

I have a question for the experts with trailers and towing.

I have a 16ft Bri-Mar open deck car trailer. Its hooked to the truck below with a round bar weight distribution hitch. At ~60 MPH on the highway I have vibration that seems to be coming from the trailer, it causes the rear of the truck to vibrate up and down. I can see it in the tires on the Jeep on the trailer as well. I shifted the Jeep forward some to increase the tongue weight and it had a very small effect if any on the vibration. I even put balance beads in the trailer tires to eliminate a tire balance issue.

Anybody have any ideas on the cause?
