The truck in the Vid was out on their maiden voyage with new truck and RV, Truck was a F250 with about 4" lift along with aftermarket tires of an unknown load range, air bags and aftermarket wheels that may or may not meet the load capacity of the OE wheels. "
I did not know for sure that this was a new RV. This really makes me wonder if the trailer brakes were properly burnished and if the owner was even made aware of the need to do that. That would go a long way towards explaining why he was not able to stop on the yellow from 40mph. It may not be his fault at all.
