Weight Distribution Effects Video

I don't know if anyone has seen this before but I just saw this Weight Distribution Video in youtube - a 54 second clip.

It's a pretty dramatic video, and very helpful for those folks who have never thought topo hard about how loads are distributed.

I'd say it's not a real "apples to apples" kind of comparison to the load situations most RV trailers get into, but it at least gives a good starting point for thought and discussion.

I'm obsessive about my weights.

I posted that video in one of the towing forums a few months back. I thought it was quite eye opening - at least to me - about the effect of how the distribution of weight made such a difference.
