Some of ya'll seem to forget that contraption behind you is 7.5-8 feet wide. You start hugging the zipper with the TV, that toy your hauling is taking up space I need. At 108" wide, there isn't much left of my lane that I am not using. Sure hate to suck you in, start rubbing like NASCAR.
By the way.....even big trucks feel a bit of tug when another rolls by. Tends to be more of a rock than a tug...but it is felt.
I have not been in Pa for over 40 years. Did they wash the highways in hot water? Cause them to shrink? Back then city streets would kinda squeeze in on you, but the highways where a truck was likely to pass? Narrow lanes not a issue.
Years back, I passed a sign on the way to CG. Said loads over 10 feet prohibited so many miles ahead. Walking my dog around, couple guys watched their wives ask me directions (That state plates on pickup, and a Mack hat, I guess they thought I knew the area) They wanted to know how to get to the city about 100 miles away. Told them go right down the highway. Guy asked "WHAT ABOUT THE WIDE LOAD RESTRICTION?" I explained first to detour around would be a extra 50-60 miles most lanes of it not much wider than what the state would require to allow 10 ft wide loads to meet, and crooked. I think most people that have never paved, or moved oversized loads think lanes are much smaller than they are.
OP, I think if you get in the habit of running your trailer near the shoulder that will reduce the effect some. Riding to right will also let you see what is coming. Next adjustment between the ears, is know it is going to happen, but will not move you much. What makes it worse is you over-correcting, so you bobble all over your lane.
