RV Accident US 131 in Michigan
People, just because you can pull it doesn't mean you should. This is ridiculous to think that little Nissan is going to pull that trailer. No weight distribution, nothing.

I let up on the throttle a bit next thing I see in the mirror, backend of the trailer about three feet to the left of center.
Trucks going straight, a little tap to the brake controller switch and the trailer gets back where it belongs.
Sure was happy I had the Hensley Hitch that day.
Did anybody catch this post by hddecker? Not picking on you at all hd, just caught the part that your Hensley let the trailer get out of shape. I thought that supposedly wasn't possible?
If you read my OP my truck was going in a straight line. The Hensley did exactly what it was supposed to and not allow the trailers actions to have any effect on the TV. I didn't even know that the trailer was side ways until I looked in the mirror to see who was going to hit us.
There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that if I was still towing with my Reese dual cam we would have been in the ditch along side the rest of the vehicles. Could the trailer have over come the Hensley and put us in the ditch, probably. But the Hensley gave me the ability to save us from that outcome.
Like I said I don't know why I went that route to begin with, the TV show the Highway from Hell has the right name for the Coquihala Hwy.
