If you don't mind talking about it, how did you lose the fiver in 2010?
Don't mind at all. I often repeat the story when the great debate of SRW vs DRW rages on here.
In 2010 just west of Elk Mtn pass we lost our 5er to a blowover. Tore the kingpin right out of the 5th wheel & the trailer barrel rolled down a 50' embankment. The truck stayed upright & did not go with the trailer.
No injury to us but a good shaking up. Believe the extra stability of the DRW saved us that day.
This trip will take us right past that spot about 1st week of May, the same week as 2010. We did not have a smartphone then to keep tabs on the weather. We do now. Still, it would be nice to hear some local knowledge.
