Yeah, I know, far from an ideal set up! He has towed the XB like that from Melbourne (750km) and twice to Adelaide (500km round trip).
You wanna know something REAL scary........ the brakes on the trailer are almost non existant!! |

Wouldn't it have beena good idea to back the car up a bit on the trailor so as to evenly spread the load of the car over the axle???
Just an observation.

I had 2 straps over each wheel and one over the cross member pulling the car down so it wouldn't bounce, still moved 2' to the right. I done them up that tight i had to cut them off when i got home. Although i did sit on 13o all the way home. |

would have been far better if the car was back about a foot or maybe even a little more, if thats possible with that trailer(some trailers are too short to achieve a nice balance) |

Just about need to tow our cars to shows. For example the Springnats for fear of getting defected and no ride home.

the idea is to get as good a balance as you can, but if you MUST have the weight more towards 1 end, you try and have it towards the drawbar end ive towed heaps and never have an issue with the car sagging down like the eb pictured.... |

In China they make an extension lead from lengths of wire with bare ends stuffed into a power point.

Any further back and it starts swaying like crazy. The XR8 is low and the trailer is very heavy on the draw bar. |
