I think this falls into trailer towing issues
From start to finish, IMHO the things done wrong far exceeds the things done right. In spite of that, they got him out with minimal damage.

- Yep an oldie but always worthwhile to repost from time to time for a reminder for newbies and veteran RV'ers.
Looks like Iron Mountain Road in the Black Hills. Very tight switch backs. I've seen 25ft classC's and short 5'ers do it, but that's a huge 5'er and truck. He would've need he entire switchback to make that turn! - Yea, I've seen this video several times. BUT! Now that I have a 5er myself, and no longer a TT, I sure understand how this could happen. This video makes me cringe now.
- That looks like US16A in South Dakota
- Yep....saw it was an old video, but, thought it was worthwhile. There is another video posted where a couple of wreckers where retrieving a 5th wheel rolled-over in a small ravine. The drivers where discussing icy roads. Icy roads is why we always have cables for truck and especially the trailer at all times. Obviously though, it’s best “not” to drive on icy roads! memtb
- That has been posted several times over the years. (video dated in 2012) But still good warning to everyone.
