Dave thanks for the post, I think we are getting closer on combining and summarizing the many thoughts/ideas in this looooong thread.
Will, forget the models!! What you need to do is put some dollies under your TT tires, go to Wal*Mart and do some turns while I videotape. Seriously, I think that would provide the proof that both Ron and Milt are looking for. Thanks for the suggestion, Dave.
Anybody have dollies or space (or time) to do this?
Yes, I think we are getting closer. I agree with Dave's post 100%, especially this part:
"I think that you are also correct in your assertion that simply pulling your HA mounted TT down the road assists some in the HA's stability, because as the HA moves through its range, the TT must move closer to the TV..."
Now, Don, I got a deal for you: If you'll come down here to run the videotape (and drink beer! LOL!), I'll get the dollies and put them under the trailer wheels, so we can try this out at the Walmart parking lot! LOL! AAMOF, there is a Winn Dixie that just closed less than 2 miles from my house, we can use their parking lot. Its completely empty. ;)
Actually, I think the model I described earlier, would be easier/cheaper to do, than putting dollies on the wheels of a trailer, and trying to swing it around. Besides, unless somebody is going to push on the trailer real hard to the side while its being towed through the parking lot at Walmart (with trailer wheels on dollies), I'm not sure that experiment would prove what we want it to prove. Sure would be hilarious to watch, though! LOL! :)
