A heads up to anyone who's planning on renting a trailer from Uhaul - don't get the cheap one with only one axle! I just experienced this while towing a Uhaul trailer, holy fuck it was terrifying! I had to keep countersteering the whole time and had to reduce speed to only 30 mph all the way home so that it would stop swaying all over the place. Fortunately got back home without any problems but now I don't know how to return it without it swaying again!

Sounds like you had it loaded improperly. Always place the heaviest stuff ahead of the axle. Single axle trailers will wiggle a little, its just their nature.

What were you towing it with? There's generally a reason why developed countries use big trucks to tow things.

OP you are a faggot that doesn't know how to load a trailer.

You didn't have enough tounge weight.

I mean, shit, I've never measured tongue weight, but for my truck it is 500 lbs max. So you life the trailer and feel how it balances.

Too much weight means when you are braking the trailer pushes you, to little weight means the trailer sways liike a drunken marine
