Claim 0:
1. A trailer dampening system, for reducing movement of a trailer towed by a vehicle, the trailer dampening system comprising:
a first barrel assembly, comprising:
a cylinder barrel having a cylinder barrel proximal end, a cylinder barrel distal end and a cylinder barrel cavity;

a cylinder rod assembly, extending into the cylinder barrel and comprising:
a cylinder rod having a cylinder rod proximal end and a cylinder rod distal end, wherein the cylinder rod is configured to move within the cylinder barrel;
a cylinder piston head connected to the cylinder rod distal end and within the cylinder barrel cavity;
a first internal volume formed within the cylinder barrel cavity between the cylinder piston head and the cylinder barrel distal end;

a second barrel assembly, comprising:
an accumulator barrel having an accumulator barrel proximal end, an accumulator barrel distal end and an accumulator barrel cavity;
a second internal volume formed within the accumulator barrel cavity;
a connection cap positioned between the distal end of the cylinder barrel and the proximal end of the accumulator barrel and wherein the connection cap allows for fluid communication between the first internal volume and the second internal volume; and
wherein in a first mode of operation the trailer dampening system is positioned between the vehicle and the trailer, wherein a first pressure within the first internal volume is regulated by a second pressure within the second internal volume and controls movement of vehicle relative to the trailer.
