It looks like a typical day on a California freeway.

Poor Travel Trailers.

If they had been in the states I have friends that would loved to own one like those.

It was a hoot to watch though. Who am I to talk anyway. I was on a Demolition Derby crew for years. We smashed up some good cars.

Yep. They sure have a good time tearing up RVs on Top Gear.

It would be fun to try if someone would donate the equipment but I would insist on at least a 5 point safety harness.


I was surprised to see no harnesses or helmets. They clearly had no expectation of cars flipping over. Makes me wonder if trailer interiors were totally stripped.

The motorhome racing vid is a hoot too.

You see, this could had all been prevented with duallies. They obviously lacked the wheelbase and tow weights for the TV.

I've towed through Seattle, too, during rush hour, no less. Since then I've given much thought to trailer sway. This is different than tail wagging, which is what your anti-sway hitches deal with.

The accident was obviously caused because the TT manufacturers do not know how to build a reliable product.

Probably caused by those Chinese tire bombs or using to small of a TV etc. etc. etc...
Twenty six foot 2010 Dutchmen Lite pulled with a 2011 EcoBoost F-150 4x4.

Just right for Grandpa, Grandma and the dog.

Fun video...but I can't understand them. I wish they would speak English....:B

Reminds me of the last time we towed through Seattle...
