Title: Interesting towing video - tongue weight

Some folks learn this the hard way:

Towing a trailer can be dangerous with the wrong weight distribution - YouTube (https://youtu.be/6mW_gzdh6to)

Yup, and I'd like to see a longer video showing what happens with other various load positions with the axle in the proper spot - front heavy, side heavy, right on the axle, shifting.

Very good demo, to be sure BUT the axel on that model is about dead centre which is much less than ideal as well. 

I'd like to see the whole lot of common loading foibles shown with that model system. BUT the tow vehicle, trailer and hitching systems models would need to be to scale to be realistic.
