Video of TT flips over on Parkway Monday

This gets my vote for best post in the thread. I'm glad that OP posted this video. Regardless of what some posted, after seeing this I want a big truck to pull a trailer that big, which looks like about a 35-foot bunkhouse to me. That's a lot of trailer; probably over 10,000 pounds.

I hate threads like this. Almost zero information about how the accident happened, but there will be several pages of heavily inferred reasoning.

Zero info? The whole process was video taped. :B

In all my years on this forum this is the first video I have seen where the ENTIRE process of a TT flipping over was video taped from start to finish. Most of the times all we see is partial cop pictures of the end result.

IMHO, JHMO this video is priceless to show others just what can happen. AND at the end seeing the full view of what he was towing with was well priceless.

There is no inferred reasoning on this one. It is what it was.
Yup, you can tow it, but can you control it when something happens.

When the TT started to sway just a little, he neither slowed down or tapped the brakes. And then the tail just started wagging the dog, till it flipped over.

What is the speed limit on that parkway? Because he sure looked like he was sure keeping up with everyone at the beginning.

AND, I think 'some' drivers, don't know that there is this little thing on your brake controller that if you start to sway you reach down and (on mine) you squeeze both sides where there are 2 buttons. Which will get a little sway under control right away.

I just hope posting/viewing this video helps just one RV'er think about all what can happen when you tow more than you should. :C
