Couple wrecks trailer 20 minutes after buying it
Link Curious what the forum's opinion is on who should be liable. Seems to me like the dealer has some responsibility. -Eric

On I75 headed north, from the intersection toward Orlando, we have seen numerous wrecks involving new trailers and many times new pickups or suvs.
I have no idea if they had sway control.
But the old theme sure your truck or rv can handle that comes to mind. A light weight single rear tire pick up or suv and a heavier trailer is a disaster waiting to happen. Just like the lengthy trailer loaded,with watermelons entering the interstate and semi flying by at the same time. The trailer turned that pickup every which but loose and ended up in front and tore every thing up.
If you are going to tow a trailer, regardless of speed the tow vehicle needs to have more weight over therear wheels and with sway control. I have no idea about the peculiar construction show of the trailer. I don't believe it is factory though.
Don't recall new Fifth wheels lying in the median and side of the Interstate. That popular RV Dealer, I wonder if they have a sign over their door, Oh sure your 1/2 ton truck or light suv can handle it?
