I'm confused: If it doesn't lock up on the trailer side, what explains the fellow in the video pushing on the side of Hensley model mock-up? Is he not pushing that hard?

Actually in my experience I know it doesn't lock, as I've seen the trailer moving somewhat, while not feeling it much in the TV. But I still wonder about that video & why it appears locked up.

Well, I think we talked about that video before, but bottom line: that video was a MARKETING video. 'nuff said. :)

...

Is there an echo in here? Just how many times do I have to hear this before I get it!!?? LOL As marketing people know well, learning takes place through spaced repetition. That is, hearing or seeing something over & over, in various ways, many times, repeated & repeated again - well you get the idea.

Still would like to see that trailer mock-up on dollies - I'd buy the beer!

For reference, here are the pictures showing the application of force in three different manners on the marketing video.

Here's a post I wrote that Ron was referring to where I described what was happening on the model in the video. http://www.rv.net/forums/index.cfm/fuseaction/thread/tid/15531727/gotomsg/15576122.cfm#15576122

BTW, some of the most useful parts of this thread are found back on those pages. I found it extremely helpful to review that part of the thread last week. If there are some things back there that don't make sense please bring them back to the top so we can hopefully clear them up.
