Morning all
Trucks passing is always a problem, the bow wave from large modern trucks
moves steadily along the trailer from back to front and causes a swing. The
stability of the towing vehicle makes a big difference. The closer the rear
wheels of the vehicle are to the tow hitch the better, other things being
equal. Best towing vehicle I ever had was an MGA sports car. Excellent
handling. I remember once being surprised to hear that Lotus Europa (rear
engine) sports car won a caravan towing competition. Note that a lot of
4WD vehicles have awful handling, if the car reacts to crosswinds when not
towing it won't be very good with a trailer.
