Wow..... I would think by simply letting off the go pedal when the camper started to sway would have prevented this mess.
NO that will make it worse! Been there done the same thing hit the brakes and did not get the job done!
No F-ing way will I ever again tow a TT unless I have a lot more TV than one would think needed!
Troy you need to get it under control before slowing gently. Yes the rim and tire and skirting will be toast but hopefully you'll guide it to a safe location buddy. You need to first get the steering under control and the only way to do that is to speed up or your toast.

Let me clarify a bit more. I meant letting off the gas as the vehicle was just starting to pass the 18 wheeler and the trailer started to oscillate and not when all hell was about to break loose. Are you saying at the early stage of trailer oscillation that reducing the speed the vehicle still would have ended up in the ditch?
My mind thinks more proactive than reactive. :h
