There have been several discussions on this hitch that have become somewhat 'controversial'. I am NOT trying to stir this controversy/bashing back up. Instead, I'd like to see a good, intelligent di...

Tim et al.,
I don't think there is any significance that can be attached to the point of intersection between the centerlines of the TT and the TV.
Please disregard the RED portion of the following paragraph. I now believe that it is incorrect. See my 5/13/05 4:59pm post for an explanation.
When towing, the usual condition is for the angle between the centerlines to be zero. In this limiting case, the "apparent" pivot point would be at infinity ahead of the TV. This means that, as the TT pivots through zero angle with a finite angular speed, all points on the TT would have to be moving at infinite tangential speed.
