[SEL] Tandem Trailer

[MaytagTwin at aol.com]

Hi Bob,
Is this critical distance you describe something you have learned by hearing 
about it?  Or, have you personally experienced it?  What is it about the 
distances being equal that would cause problems with towing at speed, and, 
especially, how would that affect backing up?

Thanks.
