Will, you missed the point.....no need to push on the side of the TT while it's moving. The dollies simply take away the TT's tires' ability to resist the lateral movement. So, as you drive the TV, and turn, the trailer is free to leave the arc led by the TV.
Ideally we would prove two things:
1) For the most part, the TT would follow the TV, even though the dollies eliminated any lateral resistance from the tires. So, the TT would still follow the course set by the TV, and behave like the HA was somehow "locking" the TT. (This is Milt's point. Happy Milt?)
2) Given the right conditions, the TT can move out of line from the TV as a result of no lateral resistance from the TT tires, proving that the TT can initiate movement in the 4-bar linkage. (This is Ron's point. Happy Ron?)
See what I mean Will?
BTW, I'm still coming over for a beer......
