Felt so bad for older couple traveling today

With all due respect I definitely made assumptions about TT safety but there is no assumptions on what happened. Initially I thought the darn thing was on fire but regardless something was seriously wrong with this nearly new trailer with white smoke billowing from the tire. I personally would never make an assumption on how they care for their truck and trailer. It all looked in tip top shape and well cared for. They were around my step dad's age and I guess that got to me that they are halfway across the country from their home, a long ways from their destination and all these things keep happening. It seems they are taking it in stride. For now I will be happy camping within a couple hours from home and vacationing without the TT like we did before we bought it. I am a chicken, what can I say. Doesn't help reading about the veteran couple that rolled their TT and TV while in Kansas and said no more TT's for them, because hanging upside down in their rolled truck changed their life. Maybe I should stay off this forum, haha.

My apologies. As I said above I didn't realize the trailer was new when I first responded and I missed your subsequent post clarifying that.

My motivation for responding to this thread was only to help provide some assurance that TTs are not inherently dangerous. I really enjoy RVing and I hate to see others miss out on the opportunity.
