This is a terrible demo if weight distribution is what they are trying to show. When the weight is moved to the extreme back it not only unloads the weight from the 'hitch' it also creates at large moment of inertia. This will exaggerate the swings more than any realistic trailer scenario would. The weight should gave been moved to somewhere nearer the wheels to be realistic.
The video is showing HOW a trailer that is loaded properly vs improperly will behave. Hence why the washer was shown forward initially, then to the back later. Have a trailer with too little or no hitch wt, it will sway just as the model showed! Correct amount of wt forward, trailer will correct itself is "wind" hits it from the side.
Been there did that done that a few times with improperly loaded trailers vs properly loaded.

seems to me that this is showing exactly how weight distribution can affect stability. I don't think it was meaning to depict an exact replica of a real life RV setup.
