The cooling capacity test was the most interesting. I'm not sure I would want to try that on my 9 year old truck that has 100,000 miles on it.

also:
- trailer was just loaded for weight, not set up as a box where it would be subject to wind forces.
- trailer was loaded for optimal weight distribution front to back. A properly loaded trailer will have minimum sway. Whereas a poorly loaded trailer will make the driver pucker factor increase.

I wonder if the J2807 standards take those issues into account.
