Trailer loading and tongue weight

[THEFERMANATOR]

Came across this video on the book of faces today and felt it was worth sharing. It shows just how critical tongue weight and loading can be with a trailer. Yes I know it's a model mustang, but it does demonstrate what a small change in center of gravity can do for overall stability, handling, and control can happen. And I've personnally experienced this with our 1st travel trailer. It was tongue light from the factory because they put the axles basically dead center of the trailer. I put a rack on the back of it to carry my generator as there wasn't enough room on the front to put it there. Needless to say there was alot of white knuckle experiences with it, and the person I sold it to ended up wrecking it because he put to much eeight on it trying to reduce the tongue load on his expedition, and lost control of it in the mountains.
