good idea fc' and u might try the track loop with the sensor INSIDE the stream too.
doesn't need to be done at the same time as the tow vehicle and if done on the SAME loop and conditions...
each tv/trailer combo would be interesting info...

i agree there are low amplitude high frequency vibes being transmitted into the unit...
from the road via the tires/axles primarily and perhaps SOME via the hitch...
your data suggests NOT VERY MUCH via the hitch/a frame, ON YOUR 30 SLIDE...
i think ONE of the issues is this...
? is it better for a stream to move UP/DOWN somewhat level on all axles while connected (adequate w/d is needed here)...
? or is better for a stream to ROCK/roll like a teeter on soft sloppy w/d with loads shifting on the front/rear axles ??
following behind i've seen firm/flat units move very little UP/down,
while soft/sloppy units have rears that go WAY UP then way down...
where's that picture of plumber's crack?

no offense mary but THIS thread is really about measuring forces and trying to make sense of the data.
it's NOT about how to set up any ONE rig (except maybe fc's rig)
so u might wanna START a thread on your needs and questions, or READ some of the 100s of threads on towing combos...
there are several folks here towing with 1 ton drw trucks who can offer help on tires, w/d bars, hitches and so on...
check out some of those threads in the tow vehicle/hitches section, good stuff is OUT there.
