Brothers trailer and truck destroyed

I had a similar incident where I lost a racecar, truck and trailer from sway. We had added a toolbox on the front of the trailer which made us shift the car back about 2' or so. It was just enough to change the front to rear weight ratio on the trailer. I felt it twisting as soon as I got on the freeway but was anxious to get to the track. We hit a small dip that started the sway which caused me to hit the rail on an overpass and the truck spun around and the trailer broke loose from the truck just as we went on two wheels. Luckily we were all ok and a valuable lesson was learned about loading trailers and bumper pulls.

I went thru several bumper pull camping trailers and never felt safe while passing big rigs, or on windy days. Finally I decided to try a 5th wheel and am convinced that they are the safest trailer to pull. There is no comparison. I now travel in a relaxed state of mind and hardly feel it back there.
