Hensley Arrow: How does it REALLY work?
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...

Not quite....mathematically, you are right, moment = force x distance. BUT, increasing the distance only lessens the force required to produce the same moment. If we assume that the crosswind is blowing at 20mph, changing the length of the lever is not going to make the wind blow slower. Further, we can assume that the wind gust exerts pressure at all points along the side of the trailer, not just at the coupler, so theoretically, there are an infinite numbers of points where force is applied, each with corresponding moments from the TT axle.
Of course, the same wind is applying its force to an infinite number of points along the same side of the TV also, so does that produce a series of counter moments?
