Default Which Tow Vehicle

So to say that "Towing is simple. Follow these rules, and your rig will
be stable in all conditions and not need stabiliser hitch." is in my
experience a gross oversimplification.


Think we'll have to agree to disagree - but I'd like to know of
examples where these guidelines were met, but the rig was still
unstable.

One thing I don't mention which could be called an
"oversimplification" is weight distribution within the trailer, mass
should be concentrated low and over the axle. However you don't
usually have much choice about that with a glider.
