[A/S] Hitches (was Tow Vehicle Choice)



If that's the hitch Charlie Burke has it should do the job.

< It seems that on this last trip that as a truck approached me
 from the rear I could feel the whole trailer getting
 shoved sideways and my truck being shoved with it a
 second later.  Definitely the tail wagging the dog. It
 never really caused me to sway back and forth, it just
 shoved me over a bit.   Not a fun feeling.  >

I have a Hensley and a huge truck that weighs more than my trailer....... 
when big trucks go by my whole rig moves a little to the left...... no hitch 
will prevent that. It's the wind sucking you over...... that's *NOT* 
sway....... sway is when the trailer starts wagging from side to side like a 
dog's tail.... no hitch will prevent that little tug to the left..... in my 
case it feels like I have one 48' vehicle being pulled because there is no 
sway at the hitch. Sounds like yours isn't swaying, just pulling left.
