Once you get a lot of energy stored in an oscillating system comprising a car and caraven rolling on rubber tyres over uneven ground and a sprung supension (how often do caravanners change the shocker absorbers in their vans, - if they have any) the instability will inevitably spread from vertical to lateral.
At best this will pre-load the suspension of the towing vehicle (making it stiffer) and take up any slack wear in the tow hitch arrangement.
Just explain please.
I never proposed that.
It is not obvious to me. Save that adding weight to the towbar might have the 2nd order effects I have outlined above.
Please provide a link to the proof.
For the sake of clarity.

Doesn't cut the mustard.
I thought it wasn't.
To a limited extent and for the simple reasons I provided.
?
Why am I not surprised ?
Oscillation is the problem. Why do I not see "damping", or "negative feedback" mentioned in your solution, only adding mbutt.
One does ones best. Sadly you appear to be none the wiser. If a little better informed.
