I pulled a Nacra 5.5SL AND a Hobie 16 (on the same trailer) across the USA last spring and the only problem I had was the learning curve on tire pressure with the trailer tires.

Got to the Nevada border, after starting just outside San Fran and experienced a rhythmical thumping that sounded like the concrete expansion joints but it wasn't. It was the result of the tire pressure being uneven. They weren't spinning at the same speed and one had to jump every so often. When I stopped at a tire repair station they also pointed out that my tires on the trailer weren't rated for High Speed. I will never own another trailer without replacing the tires that come with it with High Speed tires. What a difference. Also I learned that it is important to buy and use a good tire pressure gauge (like the professional truck drivers use)not the pencil-like ones they sell at the counter of the auto parts store. I had no problems from that point on with tire pressure or bearing temp or anything.

As a side note, I learned the other day that, for the most part, the trucks sold today come with large passenger car tires. NOT truck tires. I use my truck occasionally with some heavy loads and I don't want to exceed the weight limitations on the tires that come with the truck. Just something to watch for.
