I'm not dissing it but...

It looks like it would create a lot of drag.

I don't know what your needs are, but what about those trailors where the top half moves down to drop the drag co-efficient???

They were made for campers but any trailer can be altered to do this.

Just my thoughts.

He's not talking about the trailer itself, but about the "dolly" that carries the trailer tongue and its weight.

Other than the Equal hitch system, this is a practical way to pull a
trailer with tounge weight more than 300-500 lbs.

I did read a review of that device. You have to insert locking pins everytime you want to backup.
