Right size truck ???
I kind of think he may have needed a larger tow vehicle. A Nash is heavy to begin with and then 30' ??? Yesterday near home

Wonder if this driver/owner learned anything about what and why it happened? Since the cab area looks intact, hoping no major injuries and everyone okay in there
As said, saw several semi's on their sides passing them up at Grants Pass. Several more were NOT on their sides and are the ones whose drivers stopped on the side of the road where the road was cut through the hill (those giant 'V' in the road where they leveled it). We talked shop for a few minutes and he said this happens too often in this very high wind area (why they have huge wind farms out there)
Patrolman said they were monitoring and only allowing a few through at a time, as the winds had died down...after he checked out my setup. K5 with 1 ton suspension (makes no matter...it was still a very short wheel based K5 1/2 ton) towing a PUP (low side profile).
From this picture...wonder how much force it took to 'dent' the side of the TV like that
These two pictures shows pretty flat area and straight...about to enter a curve area
Say that it could have happened to a larger TV...heck even a dually...if the wind MPH was high enough and caught enough square inches of the trailer sidewall (sail area)
Personal choice...I'll always go with as much safety margin as can and try like heck to not be at the hairy edge of my ratings...but that is just me...
