Sadly this happens more than you'd think. There are a few good TV shows that tout the RV life, people go shopping, and an RV dealer who wants nothing more than to get a rig off of the lot tells the buyer what they want to hear to make the sale.
Driver is scared to death after driving the rig home from the dealer, after the sale is final of course. The buyer then decides to either to sell the RV and take a loss or go buy a bigger tow vehicle. Folks often do that before any damage is done. In the end, there are just not enough tragic stories of accidents due to "too much trailer, too little truck" to generate enough public interest to make change.
There should be a brochure printed up that details how to read the weight stickers on vehicles and campers to educate the buyer. And it should be required reading before purchase.
