Milt, perhaps we each need to define what we mean by "yaw". I define "yaw" as a pivoting of the TT about some vertical axis. When subjected to a strong cross wind, a semi trailer or a 5er or a PullRite-coupled TT will pivot (yaw) about the pin. A TT coupled with conventional hitch will yaw about the ball coupler. And, a HA-coupled TT will yaw about the VPP. The trailer will swing until its tires have enough slip angle to develop sufficient lateral force to counter the force of the cross wind. How do you define yaw?
