In the mid 70's my parents had an 18' aristocrat lo-liner (sp).
They had a bike rack added to the back of the trailer attached to the frame.
We ended up jack knifed on the side of the san diego freeway - once and then at the bottom of the grapevine north of Los angeles.
sometimes it doesn't take much to change the weight on the tongue enough to cause a problem.
