Wondering if a receiver hitch allows more fine tuning of tongue load compared to a non-receiver type? Seems to me that by being able to select different ball heights that it would.

Not saying I'm going to change it every time I load the trailer, but more like performing the initial "tune". Thoughts, experiences?

Thanks,

 

Most cycle trailers have a similar tongue height. I'm guessing to match up with a common hitch height. My previous rkc had a hitch and it was a fixed height ball. Didn't have any problems with trailer towing.

 

With bikes the height is pretty much standard. Not like trucks or cars.
It is kinda like a standard height for each make of motorcycle.
The trailer needs to be level and in almost all cases with a standard hitch the trailer is level.

 

I guess one thing that I would really want to think my way thru is altering the air flow over, around, and under the trailer. I see some of these trailers bouncing up and down, going back and forth sideways and it sure looks dangerous to me.
You dont want the movement of the trailer to take down your bike. I would talk with the trailer manufacturer before I did anything just to make sure.

 

Most trailers you see doing this is can be caused in different ways.
not loaded properly
Not enough tongue weight.
low tires
bike suspension not taking it, too much weight in trailer or tongue weight wrong.
No suspension on trailer.

If you get a good trailer, determined by others experience/how it is built, you will not know it's there.
I prefer the single wheel trailers personally.

Air flow in most cases has very little to with this problem.
Baffles underneath in front of trailer, like cars. That would be easy.
Get a low profile trailer, very little air flow on top that could cause a problem. however they are costly.
Around the trailer, I don't know. That is one of the reasons I like the single wheel trailers.
I am no professional trailer guy, just have some experience with trailers.
