I agree. People in a hurry to get nowhere, it's vacation not the Indy 500 and big trailer and inadequate tow vehicle.

Typically I drive 5 under the limit on dry road with good visibility, you want to go faster, go around me. less than ideal conditions, even slower.

In my opinion, you are part of the problem, you drive 5 under and the rest of us have to try and go around you.

I think you hit the nail on the head w/ inexperience....About 2 months ago I was going home after taking our 5th wheel back to the dealer for a new roof (warranty item). I'm about halfway between Indy & Cincy on I74 going about 73 in a 70 mph zone. In my rear view mirror a saw a truck & TT combo quickly gaining on me. He blew by me he doing at least 80 if not more, while towing about a 37 foot TT. He was pulling with what looked like a brand new F250 and I got a quick look at the hitch and did not see any WD bars or sway control set-up. When he got past me there were paper tags on the TT which meant he just bought it in the last 30 days. Guy had his wife and kids with him and I could only think that he's going to get them and some innocent driver seriously injured if he doesn't quickly learn how to pull that thing safely. Hopefully he got pulled over by a cop at some point, but I rarely see any troopers on that stretch of road.

Was the trailer swaying? Or is it just the "RV owner Me first, gotta have a wdh and sway control to tow a TT" crowd opinion?
Ever notice 99% of TTs have sway and wdh and 99% or all other trailers of similar size and weight don't have nay of that?
That my friend is called marketing!
