Default towing a sailplane trailer / vehicle

This is what I had when I was towing a caravan, also using weight-
distrubition bars:

It connects on the side of the "V" of the trailer tongue, about
2' (60cm) back from the ball, and then on the hitch side, about 6" (15
cm) off-side of the ball. The amount of friction can be controlled to
reduce the swaying movement of the trailer.
