TT Accident - SWAY

F250 pulling TT

If he would have hit the TT brakes (best) or TV brakes, he might have saved it.
  • Ouch! Wonder why? Wind, vehicle speed, trailer loading? Started so subtly and got so bad so fast. Pretty country wherever it occurred. Canadian prairie?
  • Wow..... I would think by simply letting off the go pedal when the camper started to sway would have prevented this mess.
  • I have been in a similar situation many years ago, however I managed to get the trailer and class C we were towing it with stopped without any damage to anything but my underpants and a gallon of milk that ejected itself from the fridge.

    In my case it was a triple axle flat bed trailer with two race cars on it, and simply moving the cars forward a few inches is all it took to stop the 'death wiggle'.
