GROSS TRAILER WEIGHT (GTW) is the weight of the
trailer plus the weight of all cargo, consumables and
equipment (permanent or temporary) loaded in or on the

can be installed between the hitch receiver and the trailer
tongue that typically provides adjustable friction associ-

wanted trailer swaying motions while traveling.
