this is often a misconception, but its VERY dangerous..
you should always have the engine towards the front.......otherwise you'll cause the trailer to sway..... think about it,
---the way it is there, its causing the back of the car to sit down, because the front of the trailer is pushed down with the weight of the engine......
---if it was the other way around, the back of teh trailer will be forced down with the weight of the engine, lifting the front,of the trailer and thus lifting the rear of the car......
i can see EXACTLY what the problem was in that pic.... the car is too far forward on the trailer...... if he had it positioned back about a foot and a half, the load would be far better balanced
