Anything you can do to close off the gap will help cut fuel.But remember that the trailer will have range of motion in pitch,roll,and yaw,and sometimes all three simultaneously.It's easy to get things bound up.
Great I'll think about that... any other MUST READ posts you can suggest would be great... Thanks again for your input. BB
