RE: My 360 GLT project car
It is better to have your car as far forward on the trailer as possible, otherwise you will not have enough noseweight on the trailer (but do not exceed 70kgs). This is important to prevent snaking and promote stable towing. I have a 10foot base, single axle trailer and had a touch of snakes over 40mph when towing a Volvo 66GL Estate. The next time I had one of those on board I loaded it as far forward as possible and could reach 60 with no problems. It is like towing a caravan, if the outfit is incorrectly loaded it's towing balance is upset. The same is true of twin-axle trailers as well. I had no difficulty towing a 945 on a 16 foot twin axle trailer as I had it fairly close to the winch at the front. This way I came down the M5 at 60 all the way (no faster as it is illegal).
All the best, Peter
