Tow behind's are a bad thing unless you have a lot of TRUCK!!! I know from experience. Been there and done the same exact thing. It's not fun.
This is false! I've pulled an 8K pintle hitch trailer with a 12K empty truck, trailer dang near took out truck. Trailer had ZERO hitch wt. I've seen a unbalanced for and aft trailer try to take out a tandem dually axle flatbed.
Having a balanced trailer no matter the hitch type is the correct way to tow. THEN, having a correct TV for the task at hand, both power, gearing etc.

Ok you are right!
I had a supposedly correctly loaded and hitched with load levelers and sway control tow behind pass me and flip over causing my truck to roll coming into Portland, Or. Later towed the same trailer with a much heavier truck with NO sway.
MOST of thew RV accidents are with travel trailers in tow.
