The "white knuckle" effect of the trailer moving around behind a vehicle tends to make for a memorable experience. That experience makes for a good discussion topic around campfires, parking lots, RV dealerships, internet forums and anywhere else that people towing trailers gather. Unfortunately, a lot of the information doled out in these places can result in more bad experiences for the person taking the advice.
