Had the opportunity to drive a round trip from College Station to Houston and back...so I attached the single wheel trailer to the truck to see what the new configuration would do. The drive was a little bouncy even with the trailer loaded up with my standard tool load out and luggage.
So while I was driving...I was thinking...if it would be possible to put some sort of shock absorber setup between the trailer and hitch to minimize the amount of bounce being transmitted back into the towing vehicle. It will be something fer me to investigate to see how feasible it would be to do that.
Install a fastening point on the hitch bar and another on the trailer deck with the shock absorber attached to both points. As the trailer wheel bumps up, the shock absorber compresses and dampens the bump/bucking into the truck. With this type of setup, I should be able to minimize the amount of weight I need to preload into the trailer. Any thoughts?
