Yes it does, and it makes a difference going forwards around corners too, both to how much closer, or not, the trailer wheels are to the kerb, and to how far the outer front corner of the trailer swings and risks knocking over a gatepost. The length of the trailer also makes big difference, even those who consider themselves ‘experts’ have an issue if they haven’t had a short trailer behind them for a while. It is all about which axle the trailer is pivoting about and that changes according to ground conditions and slope.
