Hi back to you, M GO BLUE! OK... So what I gather from this thread is ...everyone disagrees what is a viable TV. I am glad all involved in wreck will be OK. Seems to me all manufacturers have standards dictated by state and federal laws. While some may feel better with their "choice" of TV, it truely matters what experience you have towing and your equipment/reaction time/experience. Also, as I mentioned in my earlier post, the equipment you have matters a great deal regardless of your TV. I have been towing 5yrs, and, paying attention to MY new setup, MY experience, and MY equipment...I need a safer setup to protect my family and others on the road! Each accident has circumstances that we can only assume what the cause was, and until you have lived it, you just dont really know. Look at your own situation and adjust accordingly. I am sure this family felt they were doing things right and tried to prevent this mishap. I just wish safety for our rigs came at a more affordable price. Greed kills.
