Doesn't matter which OEM badge, which class, etc...it happened and
caught on video for us to discuss...
Looks like lifted 4x4 and depending on how they did it...looseness
in the suspension's ability to manhandle while Mr Murphy does his
business. Just one potential factor
The biggest factor IMHO is speed and at the margins of their setup
There is also a bow wave effect passing something...even a stationary
building.
I noticed that the sway didn't start till after the TV's tail passed
and the bow wake did it's thing on the pivot point of their setup...the ball
Why I like my trailer brakes to lead
Mine does and just a touch on the brake pedal turns on the controller
to whatever preset I've dialed in
NO TV braking until I press the brake pedal further...to start the
MC Piston rod to move
Just as others have said...lean over to set the manual button/lever,
as mine does with just a touch...and give a bit of throttle to
pull it straight....then SLOW DOWN
On the safety chains, of which many discussions on this forum
I like mine over sized just for this type of thing...AKA Mr Murphy
crossing my path
Some have said any kind...both in chain and hook. Some have said
just make sure to only choose the 'breaking' strength of the chain.
I use the 'working' strength and then some. Ditto the hook
If there was one on this person's setup...it lasted maybe a fraction
of a second holding it together
They are luck....this time...hope they are as lucky the next time
Mr Murphy crosses their path...
