When I worked at Caltrans We got a brand new fancy cone truck With a roof top flashing arrow board. First day a guy drove it thru a fast food Drive thru. Roof peeled off real clean. He got fired.

[@Truckguy2007]

I had a friend of a friend that tried going through a bank drive through. She wedged it in like a cork! I came to her rescue. I backed the trailer out. Luckily she didn’t do too much damage!

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

That sounded like a fun ride...lol

[@PInk77W1]

One time my boss needed me to pick up a 6000lb chipper all the way across Los Angeles. 100miles. All I had was a 3/4 ton pick up. He said do u think u can do it safely ? I said sure I will just go slow. So I took many side roads back at 35mph. Took all day but was safe

Been disabled since age fourteen in 1972, and now at age sixty-five, probably will have to give up driver's license and driving soon, but I did have a motor van in 1988 for five years. I watch these RV disaster videos for entertainment, my son at age forty will probably soon retire and live in one. Hope you don't mind that in my medicated, couch-filled days and nights, I chuckle and get many laughs from RV nightmares, crashes, stuck in snow and mud, you name it. Hey healthy people, just park it for a few hours, and be glad you're alive today! Okay, now go crash! - j q t -

What happened when you were 14?

[@taxslayer8377]

Sway is induced on any size tow vehicle. Even a semi truck experiences sway. Trailers have to sway because they are attached at the ball. These people needed anti-sway and lower speed. Bigger tow vehicles are kind of a myth these days. While they may help overcome some sway, there’s no truck large enough to eliminate it. Speeds, hitch setup, trailer loading, tires those are the bigger safety concerns

[@alexgerrits349]

The sign on the door reads; "K9 STAY AWAY". It's a notice that there is a dog on board.

[@etcllc3519]

AWESOME! Truck drivers are “professionally” trained to haul trailers. I say that slangly. But during the recreational months, so many inexperienced people come out onto the roads. The camper has been sitting for six months; BUT, let’s take it on a journey without checking the tires!!! LMAO

[@wdooley24]

The decal on the first clip said K9 Stay Back

How are these people even pulling into a drive through?? Like wtf

[@HappyCamper1992]

Tires omg tires on these units are not rated for the weights of the units nor any speed over 65 that come from the factory. Something to look at when buying

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Yes sir..people need to understand this.. but unfortunately they have to learn the hard way! Thanks for watching and commenting

[@HappyCamper1992]

@@RollinwiththeBolens it’s amazing what a little internet homework on tires will tell you. But I have seen it quite a few times either on the way from the dealership or in the first few trips blown tire and all the damage that can do

Well, did he get that RV up to the drive-up window?

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Yeah got his food, and a bill for 50k

The back window on the truck says "K9 Keep away"

[@COSMACELF1802]

LoL at 2:06... "I'll pass that slow truck and get where I'm going (nowhere) faster!". The drive through was the most ridiculous accident. Did the driver forget they were towing?

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

I don't know what they was thinking.. but I bet they don't do it again

[@COSMACELF1802]

@@RollinwiththeBolens I'm new to RV'ing. Bought an old Class A. I've only been out twice but I've already learned that driving slow (55) is easier, safer and way less stressful. If RV'ing is supposed to be enjoyable, then it makes sense to take your time. What am I missing? Why are these people still driving like they're late for a meeting? Does RV'ing get boring? PS. Great advice to not trust Sales people, especially if you're driving a Chevette. Oh, and I'm quite alarmed with 2:41. That heavy overhead crushed that truck, hope they're not hurt!

[@rowerwet]

Any of these crashes passing an 18wheeler are seay induced by the aerodynamic wake around the large truck. theres a bow wave just like a big boat has, a suction along the side, and a big turbulent wake behind the trailer as well. This grabs and pushes the trailer as you pass.

[@markhenry6486]

I don't think speed is ever a factor in swaying. In my opinion, you should be able to go 100 miles an hour without any sway. And there's no darn need to go 100 miles an hour. Here's my list of what I think causes sway from the most common to the least. Number one, not enough tongue weight. Number two insufficient tongue weight. Number 3, 4, and 5, all insufficient tongue weight. Number 6, a towing vehicle not built for that heavy of a trailer. Others might be, mismatched tires, low pressure on some tires, to high pressure on some tires, uneven tire pressure, maybe ridiculously too heavy tongue weight. A trailer that's heavy on one side light on the other, sloppy/loose steering on the tow vehicle, a towing vehicle in desperate need of an alignment. Anyways those are my thoughts. Have a great day. 🙂🙂 Wind? Well, that can make any vehicle misbehave.

[@xxmeanyheadxx]

it's ironic people are scared to pass a big truck so they speed up which is exactly what you dont want to do to pass a big truck

[@lundworks9901]

After 2 sequential tire blow outs- one on the Mercedes on the dolly, the other a bit later on the dolly- we are getting tire pressure monitors because we didn't feel anything in the Motorcoach. One vehicle flagged us, and we did a customary recheck and found the dolly tire tore up. High speeds, sustained travel time over-heats the tires and they blow. This is one of the reasons for those 3 hours/or 300 miles, 4 hours/or 4 hundred miles situations. Wear & tear . Also, using tire covers when parked.

[@H3gamer360]

So his dog applied the brake and pulled the shifter down 1 slot?

[@spygod10]

We all know rv transport companies hire literally every single person they can

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Seems like a lot of companies are doing that..

[@carpentarhartley8624]

Too long for the drive through? Stomp gas destroy trailer, weight reduction and will fit after alterations.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Lol.. yeah that's right

[@darrenoliverio7259]

This video was AWESOME! laughed my ass off. Thanks

[@carpentarhartley8624]

Common sense Aint so common anymore.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

No unfortunately its not!

[@markhenry6622]

You named 1) no anti-sway, 2) excessive speed, 3) wrong hitch setup, 4) undersized tow vehicle, as your best guesses as to why this sway accident occurred. I am sure the cause is too light a tongue weight. I use 4 different trailers these days down from 8 years ago. Sway is caused by lack of sufficient tongue weight almost 100% of the time. At least that's what my experience has taught me. All the best. Mark Henry

[@etcllc3519]

When a sway starts, the first reaction is to hit the brakes. WRONG!!!! When a sway starts, speed up to straighten out the rig and put control back into the towing vehicle

[@alanshaw4655]

Bless you sir..you are a very smart man...you deff know what you are saying here !!..kudo's to you sir !!.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Thank you, thanks for watching

[@jameslowmanjr6141]

WOW very good. One thing. Axels may do the speed but tire’s always will not. If you look on Rvs they have a sticker that gives tire ratings , size’s go to the fare right it gives speed ratings. Must are 55 mph spare 45 mph.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Thank you for watching and commenting!

[@jameswest8280]

2:40 no way they survived that.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Not sure what the outcome was for them. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@trustme7731]

Sway is often caused by improper weight distribution on a trailer.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

I'm sure

[@janetgray2184]

There is no shame for slowing down, unless you are racing the complete stranger who doesn't understand speed limits. In traffic, I brake gently to get into the desired lane.

we never tow over 68 but try our best to stay around 62

[@carpentarhartley8624]

2:06 the airflow from the rig caused a push to the left, and started swinging, the tuck pulling was w in 1500lbs under weight to pull a trailer that long, looks like a lot of small factors all culminated to a disaster. Hope every one made it out.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Yes he had a lot of different things working against him!

[@Baka_Oppai]

the weight of the tow vehicle is not a factor in any reasonable setting.. literally not at all that suv weighs more than a pickup truck.

[@trustme7731]

The sway at 2:06 was initiated by the air flow off the front of the semi and most likely a variety of wrong towing equipment.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

As a trucker, I believe it was more speed and improper equipment more so than the wind of the big truck.. not saying it couldn't have helped create a perfect storm condition. Thanks for watching and commenting

[@trustme7731]

@@RollinwiththeBolens That's because you're on the other end of that sudden and strong gust of wind. Put yourself in an RV and start passing semi's on the freeway.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

I find myself in both positions as we are full-time rvers who travel we pull a big old 5th wheel, so I believe I have some good insight in both situations on what it's like to pass a semi.. and what it's like to drive the semi.

[@joeklopp4842]

I agree that the 2nd one was a combination of speed and gross vehicle trailer weight. But I bet there were trailer brakes not working or not hooked up. Could've just pulled the trailer emergency brake and locked it up to get out of the fishtail.

Possibly good points. Thanks for watching and commenting!

I'm a trucker & RVer myself. Also notice what looks like some chairs and maybe an appliance on the back of the rig. I would say that was another factor. Too much weight on the back.

No such thing as a trailer emergency brake. However you can activate the brakes manually with the electronic controller.

[@zkdirtyfeet5880]

The drive-thru one happened in my town. The video doesn't show the entire scene, but that snowbird tore up the entire drive thru. He ran over all the shrubs and destroyed two gates before he made it to the corner to finish off his 5th-wheel. Everybody's still talking about it. The Carl's Jr next door put up a sign that reads "NO TRAILERS IN DRIVE THRU". I guess you can't teach common sense.

[@RollinwiththeBolens]

Oh wow... thats so crazy some folks really shouldn't be allowed to haul anything behind their vehicles , or even be allowed to drive a rv without some sort of training first. And maybe a little common sense training also.. thanks for taking time to give us a little more insight into the events leading up to the finish.
