I read an article some years back about trailering, the author mentioned that's it's all too easy to be rolling down the highway and lose track of the fact that even though you're in the same vehicle you always drive, and know how it handles and performs, it's NOT the same vehicle now that there's a trailer on the back. It steers, brakes and even handles potholes and frost heaves very differently.
In this case with a smaller TV and an older, and therefore presumably heavier, TT hitched to it the difference would be very much more dramatic. I'd think a small SUV would add to that change too.
Many times my own DW has mentioned the dramatic difference in my driving style when I'm behind the wheel of our C. She calls it the Jimmy Buffet Effect, on vacation and takin' it easy.
