Welcome to /c/Tumblr
All the chaos of Tumblr, without actually going to Tumblr.
Rule 1: Be Civil, Not Cursed
This isn’t your personal call-out post.
- No harassment, dogpiling, or brigading
- No bigotry (transphobia, racism, sexism, etc.)
- Keep it fun and weird, not mean-spirited
Rule 2: No Forbidden Posts
Some things belong in the drafts forever. That means:
- No spam or scams
- No porn or sexually explicit content
- No illegal content (don’t make this a federal case)
- NSFW screenshots must be properly tagged
If you see a post that breaks the rules, report it so the mods can handle it. Otherwise just reblog and relax.

The wifi part is completely unnecesary, but powered wheeled trailers that assist "pull" is a clear benefit. Especially for camper trailers who need electricity to power life inside them. Solar+batteries also helps them power your primary home when they are parked. But a hitch, and wired "data" connection, is basic safety backup, and does not need a separate WIFI tow motor/vehicle.
If the trailer had some steering/drive, ok. This illustrated concept of a "detached hitch" has some physics problems, since the trailer is just going to yank that thing all over the place.
Yes towing.... ?
Ideally in towing, the trailer is yanked where you want it to go, but if the towing vehicle doesn't have the mass, then the trailer yanks the vehicle where the trailer wants to go.
