An RV crash to remember - YouTube


so would you rather have a PB or a GN?

I think id stick with the PB and have my tow vehicle stay upright. I like the fact that at the end the tow chains have rear of the truck suspended.

Wow, that was some impressive wind! :eek:

I wouldn't want to tow any camper in that kind of wind but I still prefer a 5th wheel vs bumper pull. It tows much easier, tracks straighter and probably would have taken that wind better since it would have been better held from rocking side to side vs a round ball and socket.

I'll stick to 5th wheel or G/N trailers anyday over a BP, especially for large trailers.

5th or Gn would probably have taken the truck out too;)

I like the way you think.
I agree that I will take my gooseneck any day over one of my ball hitch trailers with a large load.

virtually eliminates fishtailing, andhard to load a good GN swrong so that you have negative tounge weight.

Maybe a 5th wheel hitch would have privided enough stability to keep the trailer from rolling in the first place.
