I red it again and it still registers the same...

Webster to Create
:"Means to cause something to happen or exist. For example, "using a WD hitch will cause/create trailer sway."

No matter how you say it it's still rong.

Sorry for my ignorance...

Very much so, and articulate. They're obviously very successful prior to hitting the road, but still are fun to watch. Their videos are first class.

His towing findings, without a sway control hitch but with good fore and aft balance, seems a testament to towing 101. As a side note, the utuber found out, shells can be limiting for tail gate utilization with the trailer hitched up.
Well, towing on the ball solves the "front end separation" and frame flex issue, but opens another sway concern.
They tow long distances and never seem to have an issue.
The tailgate solution is to turn the head sideways (I did)
or find a longer shank. (Shells? autocorrect gotcha?)
e-Trailer has many shanks, and I like their videos where they put a tape measure on the shank because manufacturers don't all measure the same. Is a 16" shank overall length, between the holes, or rear to mounting holes?

I have to admit it is time for a Neanderthal to mind his own business and continue towing with my best interests in mind.

Tow Vehicle, Hitch and Trailer combinations need to be evaluated independently of one another. I gave my decisions that works for my combination.

I do not sell Hitches. Apparently it puts me in a bad position. When I do Sell my 27FBQ Airstream... it will be included as part of the sale in the future.

Create Definition by Webster, who does not Sell Hitches: "The meaning CREATE is to bring into existence."

Please, don't admit anything because of me.

I'm happy in my world and you deserve the same in your world.

POI..
Yes, in most contexts, "create" can be considered the same as "cause," as both mean to bring something into existence or to make something happen; essentially, "create" is a synonym for "cause" when referring to initiating an action or result.

Towing on the Ball in the 21st Century... is possible
