Towing wreck - overloaded hitch
Please people follow the rules and don't run over loaded. First article I've seen like this. Surprised it does not happen as often as this. http://www.pressdemocrat.com/news/2960844-181/chp-hitch-...

To also add here I just finished my custom built trailer I am about 500lbs over the trailer weight limit on motorhome, but not my total GVWR..
However I have added reinforcement to hitch and back of RV and 10,000lb ball setup, 4 brakes on trailer, break away switch, two 6000lb axels and 4 tires that have a max weight carrying of 11,500 lbs and safety chains.
Its a stacker trailer, carry's my Jeep on bottom and a small boat on top that raises up and down when Jeep is off trailer, I feel its very safe and strong.
