Sitting at the computer you may say NUTS! but that is not one of the words that comes to mind when the poorly loaded trailer lifts the back wheels of the Ute. Load the front of the trailer too heavy and the front wheels of the Ute get real light or can leave the ground at a small bump.

| Trailer Towing Fun
How about when you're going downhill with a heavy load on the trailer and realize there are no working brakes on the trailer? Suddenly the trailer is pushing you faster and more often than not, a sharp curve at the bottom of the hill has just appeared. Three words, " ditch, tree, or jackknife" come to mind.

Nightmare is when it you don't know and it happens unexpectadly.

What about when the trailer starts "road walking", that is swaying from side to side on a straight section of road. Slow down and it gets worse, speed up and it gets worse. Now what do you do. I found this house trailer frame that was converted to a duel axle trailer. Would it be considered overloaded?
