fish tailing

I've put thousands of miles on my similar combination, 32ft tripple axle tag behind a 1 ton crew cab dually... it wasn't bad, but things got a lot better, particularly in the Mojave crosswinds on the way to Vegas, after I added a single Reese friction-type sway control. Much like a shock absorber on all four corners of any car or truck, sway control devices damp out sway between the truck and trailer.

I latter towed the same 32ft tag trailer behind our 1 ton 15 passenger Ford van... the sway came back. For $60, I simply added a second Reese friction-type sway device, and the problem went away!

I'm a believer... "your results may vary"
