The thing is that on the Internet you rarely know all the facts.
This thread started out with an assumption. A person encountered a disabled travel trailer that had experienced several failures and then assumed, incorrectly, that travel trailers are somehow less safe than other types of RVs. The majority of posters are offering up an alternative hypothesis: that this particular RV was not well maintained.
Based on knowledge and experience we know that travel trailers are not unsafe compared to other RVs, and we also know that many trailers are not well maintained.
