For what its worth the main reason the trailers seem to always track right
is from bouncing over curbs on the right side ,because it lengthens the wheelbase just a little on the side that takes a good hit, it could happen to the left side as well but your right when you say seems to always be to the right. an alingment is the cure. I too notice that when I go to pass someone their lane position is great until they look in thr mirror and they come over on ya :shock:

Since he didn't, I took myself a few inches left of my "friend." By being as comfortable as I am with my "friend," I knew that I could still "track" the curve without making any wild jerks toward the median.

If that hadn't been enough, I would have held my "line," and let the trailers rub! I'm not about to radically "back out of it" and let his trailer contact my steer tires or fender!...
That's when I rely on my "friend" Mr. Airhorn! :wink: :lol:
