    Big dog wagging little dog maybe?

    /tease.

    You have a whole life time of discovery, stress and wonderful ways to get kilt out there. If you are stressed with a onery trailer now, I hate to see where you would be a week from now. //tease.

    At least you are swaying, not rocking. That's next prior to a roll over due to too much wind.

    I try not to tease too much, a active trailer does not bother me too much anymore. Just a matter of keeping it in line. If it's not possible park it a while.

    Not sure. Every time I'm breaking in the hills in Nevada it feels like I have to move my truck from left to right just to keep the trailer from flipping around in front of me do you guys think if I stop my truck and move my tandem to get my trailer closer will that work?
