konehead said:Having towed my HD turtle trailer with both my old c10 and my current c14. I would offer this suggestion. Make certain that u load the weight to the front/tongue of the trailer. This will help stabilize the trailer on the hitch. Otherwise its gonna want to waddle from side to side, forcing you into a mighty scary tank slapper (dont ask, I still have nitemares about that day) i was able to cruise at 80 on the interstate and didnt notice the trailer back there at all. It will affect the life span of the rear tire, especially on long trips
konehead said:I had tried putting the weight more over the center of the trailers axle, and kept the hitch weight to10-15 pounds. I couldn't get up to 60 mph without the trailer waddling. a truck following me, got me on the cb (have the j+m fm/cb/weather pod) and explained what my problem was. I pulled over and distributed my load to put more weight forward of the axle,and onto the tongue. worked like a charm and I cruised out to the national in Idaho from Illinois at 80+mph. lol at one point in the mountains in Wyoming, heading to a KOA in Duboius, I forgot it was there until I saw it in my mirror, while leaned over for a nice big sweeper......
cant beat the frugalness of the HF trailer with a cargo carrier mounted to it. in fact I got my turtle for free from some guy trying to unload one at a garage sale. just wanted it gone.... Put on some lead lights and a metal milk crate to hold a mediums sized cooler....all in for $225...

The C14 is not on there site , I emailed them , No "hitch" Just a rod that goes through the rear axle and safety pined.
