Jim,

One more time. It doesn't matter what professional haulers are using. They 
are towing with large trucks and they are very experienced. 

If someone here is asking they do not have the same experience.

You might be quite right but...............

Not all trailers are properly balanced. Not all drivers can get to the brake 
controller in a panic situation. Not all tow vehicles are big enough to handle 
a swaying trailer.

You are doing a great disservice to newbies asking questions about safe 
handling when you advise "bouncing on the ball" to them.

Personally, I think you've been damn lucky.

I hope your luck never runs out.
