- Abstract
- The objective of Phase 1 of the subject study was to review and analyze publications related to the dynamics and control of housetrailers and truck campers. Technical papers have been review and many have been abstracted. Bibliographies relating to the mechanics of single vehicles, the aerodynamic effects, tire properties, etc., are presented. Areas which need more research are defined and a preliminary analysis of accidents involving housetrailers and truck campers is made.
