Aim for between 5% and 10% of the loaded trailer weight on the ball.
For example, if the loaded trailer is 2000kg, somewhere between 100kg and 200kg will tow well.
Nope, he was right.
When you're towing near the limit, you want to err on the side of weight forward, and keeping plenty of load on your rear axle. Two much weight behind centre on the trailer will create a pendulum effect.
