The LR tire was definitely flat when the TV was pulling forward to return the rig to the pavement.
Looks like a blowout on the rear driver side
In general, what direction would a TV/ trailer tend to move towards if a LR tire were to blow out?
The flat tire may have been a result, not a cause of the accident.- He’s extremely lucky. Even if it wasn’t his fault, an Explorer pulling a trailer that’s just under 25 ft long with a GVWR of 6005 lbs is trouble waiting to happen.
- RV owner will be calling his / her dealer asking about warranty work stating all was working well when we left !

As indicated by a previous poster based on pictures and video shown on Tampa TV it is clear that this is a Tracer 205AIR with a 4005 lb UVW. So before we hang the owner for blatantly unresponsible disregard for human life and limb we should get the fact's first. Yes I think he could have been close to being overloaded but that does not appear to be relevant at all to the collision he found himself to be part of today
News video down here in Florida is now showing the damaged second vehicle that rear-ended the towable trailer. The news report's are saying that the sedan rear-end the trailer. The grill and hood of what looks like an older Fusion style sedan is evenly crushed across the entire front of the sedan appearing to indicate that the sedan rear-end the trialer pretty square on.
Family in the RV was on route to Disney. Told news reporters they will still make it to Disney for March break.
I wish him a safe and relaxing vacation and hope his insurance makes him whole quickly.- ..
- :h Once again ... it looks like too small of a thing pulling too big of a thing.
Motion dynamics will always rule. Just because something can be done doesn't mean it should be done. - Notice how in the image below that the Fire Department removed the LP tanks off to the side.
