For what its worth the main reason the trailers seem to always track right is from bouncing over curbs on the right side ,because it lengthens the wheelbase just a little on the side that takes a good hit, it could happen to the left side as well but your right when you say seems to always be to the right. an alingment is the cure. I too notice that when I go to pass someone their lane position is great until they look in thr mirror and they come over on ya :shock:

Since he didn't, I took myself a few inches left of my "friend." By being as comfortable as I am with my "friend," I knew that I could still "track" the curve without making any wild jerks toward the median.
If that hadn't been enough, I would have held my "line," and let the trailers rub! I'm not about to radically "back out of it" and let his trailer contact my steer tires or fender!...
