No matter what if they were hooked up properly or correct TV I think just 'seeing' what happens when a TT flips and takes the TV along with it leaves a pretty good lasting impression.
I'd be if you asked newbies they don't even know that a swinging TT can take and flip your truck over.
For what it's worth about dealerships. I've towed for years and know how to safely set it all up.
My last TT I bought new after retiring....being old and feeling entitled for once. I told the service guy to just pick out the right hitch for my truck and set the TT up for me. Of course I paid extra for that service and I went out for a cup of coffee to wait for it.
Well when I got back he had the wrong drop hitch, truck and trailer all squewed up and down. It was glaring yet the service guy said "well here you go you are all set up." :R
Seasoned RVer's "know" what it should like when correctly and safely hooked up.
But a poor "newbie" would not have and would have driven off the way it looked.
So now I don't think so harshly when I see these going on down the road now that I know a service tech at an RV dealership could have had a hand in it.
