The reason I started noticing "nose high trailers" recently is because more and more travel trailers "appear to be swaying while towing"... Some only sway slightly, some are "all over the road at 70MPH"....
While driving this past weekend, I started trying to put together some similarities that might explain what I was seeing. And, in a "very unscientific observation" I came to the conclusion that trailers which were hitched "nose high" seemed to sway more than those that were level or looked to be nose slightly low.... To be clear, I've always known that "nose high towing tends to induce sway", so it's not a "mind altering relevation" just a confirmation of what I've always known, but apparently have been seeing more frequently in rigs that I see on the interstate.
Of course, this "nose high/nose low" is only one of many factors that create or prevent sway, but this past weekend, when I came up behind a trailer that was swaying more than usual, almost invariably, it was "nose high" ....
Could be a factor, could be an old man's eyes playing tricks.... but.....
