I'd question his sanity all right, there's 4 bikes in the truck and only a bed for one or two. Maybe that's what the storage is for, the kid's tents.

Thank god he doesn't have a Honda 2000 on the back, now then he'd be in trouble!

Here is another one that talks about inertia. Not only the weight one the rear of the trailer but how far it is from the in front of and behind the axle.



There was a simulator online somewhere that you could put in actual weights and it would calculate the stability of the setup.

Did anyone ever reply to your post? I'm looking to do the same thing on my AS. I did pick up the Lowpro Lockdown base, https://www.powerequipmentdirect.com...?akamaifeo=off but can't mount it on the tongue because of the u-bolts for my Hensley hitch.
