Cool vid: trailer weight distribution

[pda1122]

This is why it's important to correctly load your trailer

Does show why it's important to load more weight towards the front but would have more realistic to have placed the axle location similar to a common utility/car hauler trailer.

Depends on the trailer. 5thwheel is different from ball hitch ... Two axles or one. What are you pulling it with? Which axle has the brakes?

As long as it's front biased, just be sensible

They are missing so much there. They don't take into account TV wheel base vs item being towed, Amount of axles, axle location from tow point, distance between axles, weight of trailer vs weight of tow vehicle and they don't take into consideration a weight distribution hitch.

I get the premise of it but is can be a bit miss leading.

Also If you are on the edge of what you should tow, and pushing too short of a wheel base. Water sloshing in your gray, black and fresh water tanks can be an issue for an inadequate tow vehicle, or one already improperly loaded.

This is the real key. Trailer design is not as big of a factor.

It's really this simple:

Trailer loaded aft = bad
