Trailer Chains - To Cross of Not to Cross - That is the Question

My mate was in the lead and told me later that in his rear view mirror the trailer was seen repeatedly going to the left and right of my truck - basically it kept trying to change lanes - and cars dodging my trailer to get out of the way. Gotta tow my trailer next week, so this topic has got me thinking. I buy that crossed chains are better, but it strikes me that crossed chains are not symmetrical and that the dismounted trailer will probably not track stable and straight (as John recounts). I wonder if it might work better to join the left and right chains with a perpendicular link under the hitch to achieve symmetry? Picture an H-shape chain arrangement. I think I will experiment and see how my trailer tows/drags on just the chains (slowly and in a parking lot).
