Just a FYI the truck monitors EGT's and will NOT hurt its self. Hold it to the floor all day on any grade and it will self adjust.

NO! Won't even try. I TRY to be very careful of where we go. I can remove MC trailer as the jack has a wheel so I can disconnect and roll around if needed.

There are a couple of youtube videos of Airstream rallies where it is almost a contest of guys backing up their Airstreams with trailers attached - boat, motorcycle - whatever.

With my MC trailer being so short it does not take much for it to turn.

Something I discovered the MC trailer tracks outside of the RV on turns.

Enough that it goes out of mirror view on the turn side?

Turning left or right I can always see the MC Trailer in my mirrors.

I was parked along the edge of the road a few inches from about a 10" high curb. There were 5 lanes plus parking on each side. I decided to do a U turm. I turned sharp left and took off and as I was well into the road I looked back at the MC trailer jump that curb with one tire! Once straightened out I pulled over to check straps and all was fine but then realized the MC Trailer traveled well outside the RV.
