Your Pro Line trailer is designed to haul all of your cars and gear, but you need to pay special attention to how you load that gear.
Generally, you should locate 70 percent of the cargo weight in front of the axle center line. This ensures there is sufficient weight on the trailer hitch and that the tow vehicle shares in carrying the cargo weight. If you have too much of the weight in the rear of the trailer, it can cause the trailer to fishtail when driving at highway speed.
Your Pro Line trailer is designed so that when you load your cars, you place them correctly in the trailer. However, other equipment and parts you add can change the weight distribution. Make sure you stow heavier items toward the front of the trailer.
Also, make sure you tie down all equipment and vehicles. And, don’t spare the money when investing in tie down straps. Use a tie down strap that is rated at three times the weight of the item it secures. In a lock-up situation, a car or anything else in the trailer can triple in weight.
Additionally, you need to stow all cargo or tie it down to prevent it from shifting during the trip. Evenly distribute all materials from side to side. Again, this prevents the trailer from fishtailing.
Some racers even install cameras inside the trailer so they can monitor the load, especially their vehicles, while they are driving.
If your trailer does begin to fishtail as you accelerate to highway speed, the best reaction is to take you foot off the accelerator and allow the vehicle to slow. This should stop the fishtailing. If the oscillation resumes as you increase speed, pull off the road and stop. You need to check your load for balance.
