With my new trailer, my rule of thumb has been to crank it up until you sense that the trailer is braking more than the TV (i.e. you feel it tugging on the TV) and then backing it off until they feel...

The entertainment center in my bunkhouse had no guide whatsoever, but there was definitely nothing solid behind it. I wound up finding the beams with a beam finder and then mounting plywood to that,...

I would have some form of sway control on any trailer I towed. Why even risk it? Same reasoning behind having an EMS, water pressure regulator, and chains - you don't need any of them.... Until you...

It's not so much the capacity - the major safety issue with a WDH is making sure that you are level when towing and that both sets of wheels have maximum contact with the ground.

Wow, how did I forget a water pressure regulator???

I second the bubble level and the bucket - our bucket's primary duty is as the under-sink trash can.
