Making a tight right turn and seeing the Hitch Hog's tires off the ground to stop the scrubbing action when turning. The air is instantly dumped in the air bag to allow this.

  • you can clearly see at 0.13 the first trailer is draging the fifth wheel. The right hand tyre is on an angle, it can't be denied as of the weight on the second trailer.

  • @myfeeling4you The entire hitch moves around a bit because of the slop built into a reciever hitch. Thats the reason the hogs axle will angle a bit on a turn such as this. The weight of the trailer will naturally want to make the hog roll over when making a tight turn. The slop is magnified since the hog extends the ball coupler 17 inches.

  • @myfeeling4you The rear trailer weighs around 6000lbs and it has a 1000lb tongue weight.

  • haw long can a truck and trailer be. I hered 65ft

  • Yes for most states 65 feet for rvs. Yes we were around 68-69 here.

  • Yes it is, totally legal. Its classified as a converter dolly and becomes part of the trailer. Per DOT rules a converter dolly converts a semi trailer into a full trailer. Same as a semi pulling doubles. A full trailer is a self supporting trailer, a semi is a trailer that has some of it weight resting on another vehicle.

  • @4strokemike last I checked it isn't legal in Utah for a truck under 15,000lbs GVR to tow over a certain length without paying a road v and at least having a class C license
