Certainly appears that way in the photos....



Old school rule...... (For anyone interested) .....1/2 an inch per foot ....... wink

The drawbar isn't included in the measured area, for example, a 6' x4' trailer is obviously 6 foot long, but add the drawbar into it and the combination is up around 10foot overall length......
What we're interested in is the main carrying area, the 6foot bit wink

So applying our rule...... 6 times half an inch equals 3inches.
That means the axle should be 3inches back from the middle of the trailer's 6foot length.
On an 8foot trailer it would be 8 times 1/2 an inch = 4inches back
On a 20foot trailer it would be 20 times 1/2 an inch = 10 inches back


Same rule applies to tandem trailers, tri-axle's etc etc......

Interestingly enough, the longer the drawbar, the easier it is to reverse smile
