never knew they made front steer trailers....very interesting.  any idea of some manufacturers who make them and what the pricing is?

  The front steer trailer is made by Competitive Trailer out of Ca. They have a front axle that rotates when you but the bus in reverse. You can back them like a regular trailer, but no tongue weight. Very nice set up. Pretty pricey can't post the price the boss might be reading

If I understand it right it only works while backing? Looks like the tracking of that would be wierd. having a pivot in the  middle like that would cause me fits, trying to back it. I remember the problems I had once backing a U-Haul truck with a car on a front axle trailer. I got so fed up I unloaded the car and reattached it after I got the truck where I wanted it.

 When you but the bus in reverse it send a signal to the trailer that rotates the axle. When the axle is rotated it puts negative caster in the axle thus you can back it. When you but the bus in drive the axle rotates back to positive caster. I have put the trailer in some tight spots it works really well.
