IMO, it shows how poor weight distribution of a trailer can influence sway. U-Haul would like you to know that.
If you play that video, then play the YouTube video 'Caravan Sway Crash' that shows up in the list to the right of the screen (at least it does on mine). That video shows how in just seconds a little sway turns into an out of control crash. I believe there are a few others out there, too, showing sway and crashes
Back to weight distribution...
I haven't seen a good video of how a weight distribution hitch works. Yes, there are a few 'sales' videos and 'how to install' videos out there. But I'd love to see one where they put the trailer tires, TV rear tires, and TV front tires on 3 different scales. Then, with the weight bars installed but left loose at the rear end, use electric motors secured to the trailer tongue to pull up the ends of the bars while displaying the 3 scales.
