Ok guys. Yes I rounded up. So what, I'm sure that load was more than 128lbs (that's pretty specific actually!) it doesn't matter what it was, any unloading of the hitch by that amount will cause sway issues. Between the carrier, freezer, grille and chairs it was more than 128lbs.
I routinely put 4 bikes on the back of my trailer and have moved stuff around inside the trailer to keep the tongue weight at 12%. All done while at a scale! So believe me I know what can be removed from the tongue by loading heavy in the rear. The first time I used my bike rack I moved a few things, but not enough as the trailer swayed quite a bit. The next trip I went to the scales and moved more stuff to make it right.
And yes, my bike rack is mounted solid and will not fail as others have so let's not go there.
And the owner of the setup in he video states he had plenty of hitch weight, but it's apparrant in the video that is not the case. How can you argue your point when the video proves otherwise?!!
I'm done here, as there is nothing more to argue. Everyone is alive and safe which is all that matters.
