I've also seen this guy lower his trailer onto the ball with the trailer hitch locked, take your chances. Entertainment not instruction.


A) It was the wife that did that
B) It was when they were newbies
C) They owned up to it which is a lot more than most folks would do given that they controlled the uploads and could have easily left it out.

Like I said more entertainment, Yea they owned up to it because thats more video content and thats more money which is the name of the game. Not saying they're complete idiots.

Except for commercial trucks not that I know of. Videos may help.

Find someone with experience to help, keep in mind experience may not mean good, i was leaning to drive a semi for the schools marching band and I could out maneuver my "instructor" the 1st day.

Or buy/rent/borrow a small to medium utility or cargo trailer and practice. A small trailer is harder to control then a larger one.
