When a trailer starts oscillating because it was loaded rear-heavy, “going full throttle will straighten it out”. It didn’t, car spun, load flew in a ditch.
The trailer did feel restless after turns, so I assumed it’ll be fine if I steer smoothly. The first 10km went okay, but then there was a downhill, and that somehow increased the instability and it went mad. Speed was constant 80km/h.
