It's all about getting the nose weight wright to stop snaking , More weight over the front is better, Having a rear engine car puts the weight on the rear of the trailer can cause more snaking at higher towing speeds. With a twin axel trailer it's less likely than with a single axel one.

As Keiran says its better to have it the other way round if you can. When I smashed the VX once it wasnt possible to put it back on the trailer rear first. It wasnt dangerous but I did notice the difference. Does the trailer tow quite stable anyway? If so leave it as it is and try it the other way round on the way back. I'm sure it will be fine, just better the other way round.

Yeah I towed my Vx the other way round and removed the wing but I did have a rather large wing!

888's on (sorry, just guaranteed tropical rain storms). Cause of pre-Spa mini electrical fire found and removed. High current USB charging ports fitted. Dashboard and interior refitted. Diffuser and undertray now off. Just the exhaust repair to sort now.

Don't worry. I'll have a change of heart in the morning and fit the Nokian winter tyres instead.
