- Weight distributing hitch systems always help any travel trailer if you don't mind putting them on. They are worth it. He maybe doesn't need one anymore?
Brian - The salesman said he didn't need one
- How do we know what happened? Maybe nothing to do with the hitch.

LOL , didn't mean to stir anything up . Just posting a pic and a simple comment (guess)- We can't tell if that's an F150 or a 250. If it's a 250 most likely there was no need for a WDH. And as said above we don't know what happened. Hopefully no one was seriously hurt, or worse.

Seems you don't recognize a rhetorical question when you see one. :R- Seems to me that the TV and TT are still pretty much in line.
- In this case, I think that an anti sway bar needed is more the case. I've seen a lot of trailers swaying down the road and as we pass them (quickly), there's no anti-sway bar. Even when we had an F250 and a 22' TT, we had both a weight distributing hitch and an anti sway bar. Both good measure. Again, assuming that the picture is the result of swaying, but it could be black ice and nothing to do with sway.
- First, I hope no one was seriously injured.
I love these threads! Everyone seems to 'know' what caused the wreck. Speculation runs rampant. My theory is he was smoking a cigarette and dropped it. While he was fumbling around trying to get it, a gust of wind came up at exactly at that moment. He is on flat land with a large body of water nearby, which is conducive for windy conditions. When he felt the swaying of the trailer, he suddenly sat up and overcorrected for the swaying and this is the result. That's my theory, and I'm sticking to it. ;) - That's a shortbed 1500/150.
Picture looks taken along a coast line and here in Canada out on the East Coast there are sections of costal highway where the wind gusts will blow over semi's. Kind of looks like that.
