I was looking for some technical articles about trailer towing and weight distribution and could not find anything from US web sites. I found the following articles from Australia and England trailer web sites, and they are all very interesting. All the math is in metrics units. If you want to convert, 1 kilogram = about 2.2 pounds.

Some stuff to dive into in the near future, when I have some time, thanks. I do have some towing/sway info in the pod manual in the link in my signature. ------------- Doug ~ '10 171 (2009-2015) ~ 2008 Salem ~ http://www.rpod-owners.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=1723 - Pod instruction manual
