Actually, to many people, this really is rocket science. I've watched a lot of these threads over the years, and I often jump in and explain the reason for WD and the need to regain steering control. Until you spell that out for them, they often don't understand. A lot of people really think towing a travel trailer is as simple a dropping a utility trailer on the back of your vehicle.
Back in the bad old days, using air shocks for towing was not only common, but that's how a lot of people thought it was done. Hence the thinking today that airbags solves your rear squat problem. I've had people come up to me at gas stations asking me how I got my trailer so level. It doesn't help that both car and RV dealers tell folks they can tow 30 ft trailer with a mini-van. These same car dealers are also the ones that tell them to get airbags.
