Default Bad accident-fifth wheel travel trailer vs. tractor trailer
My buddy works for the tow service that had to clean up this accident last week here in Connecticut. Thankfully no one was seriously hurt!

Ouch! I'm gonna guess that the 18 wheeler wasn't paying attention or lost his brakes and clipped the 5'er and that little honda.

No way! It's IMPOSSIBLE to overload a 1-ton according to the folks over at RVNET.com But those of us with 1/2-tons do it everytime we hook up a popup

Seriously, glad to hear nobody was seriously injured. Not a good day for several people.

A good reason NOT to let passengers ride in the 5er.
