Right size truck ???
I kind of think he may have needed a larger tow vehicle. A Nash is heavy to begin with and then 30' ??? Yesterday near home

From Nash's website, it looks like model # 22H which is 25' and dry weight of 4700 lbs...more than likely well within the towing capacity of the truck but getting close to maxing it out. Can't determine from the pics if he's running any kind of weight distribution/anti-sway hitch.
If a microburst can take down an airliner, it's quite plausable that he just caught a bad break and possibly compounded the problem by a lack of experience since this was a new trailer to him.
I'm sure you're right. The side views make it abundantly clear that the thing is nowhere near a 30 footer. I'm sure he is under his max, especially since it was heading home as a new rig. This one has operator error all over it.
While wandering the Interstates, in the west, I have seen two very similar wrecks. Both were Grand Cherokees with modest 22-25' TTs. Both single vehicle wrecks that most likely were a case of "the tail wagging the dog" caused or magnified by inexperienced drivers, wind gusts, or even a tractor trailer zooming by, catching the driver off-guard. Like another member mentioned, point the nose where you want to go, give it gas,and grab the lever on the brake control. It only takes a few seconds until everything is behaving again.
