Trailer sway can be caused by many factors, the most common of which
are:
•
M oderate to strong crosswinds
•
T he "bow wave" of passing Semi-trucks
•
R olling off the road shoulder
•
E vasive maneuvers
•
S udden braking
•
I cy roads
Normally, any one of these situations can be countered by the driver, regaining control of the trailer. Most
accidents occur, however, when two or more of these conditions occur at the same time. An RV'er can tow
for many years without a serious incident, but the "perfect storm" of a passing truck and a sharp drop off the
shoulder of the road can put even the most experienced driver into a serious sway condition.
Your ability to better handle and control your tow vehicle and trailer is greatly improved when the cargo is
properly loaded and distributed. Refer to your tow vehicle and trailer owner's manuals to find out how to:
• Balance weight from side to side
• Distribute cargo weight evenly along the length of the trailer
• Secure and brace all items to prevent them from moving during travel
• Adjust the height of the tow vehicle/trailer interface
Most trailers and tow vehicles should be level (Parallel to the ground) during travel. Check the instructions
from your trailer manufacturer to make sure this is correct for your combination of vehicles.
