I believe what happened could have even happened with a smaller vehicle. One slips too far over to the right and swerves to get back straight on the road. The larger vehicle, of course, causes much more of sway than a smaller vehicle. The driver may get a little scared but usually not as much as the passenger. I think if you would have been sitting in the front, you may not have felt the swerve the way you did and it may not have scared you as badly. It will take some getting used to, I'm sure, but don't give up on driving it if that was your original intention. If it were me, I would take a few trips close to home riding in the front seat to get comfortable riding in it first. A traumatic experience seems to make one fearful that it is not safe when in reality, it was probably a freak thing. Once you are comfortable as a passenger you may also be more comfortable as a driver. The way I interpreted your original post is that this situation scared you to the point of you not wanting to drive it. Maybe I interpreted wrong but if not, only practice will help. You must be comfortable enough to be a passenger first (I think) to be comfortable enough to drive it. You have to trust the rigs stability and handle ability. Sounds like DH did a good job of keeping it on the road. Good luck to you and I hope your fears soon subside so you can enjoy some happy camping.
