RV rollover
https://www.wctv.tv/content/news/FHP...568843611.html
On the road like we are, we're seeing more and more RV's with the warmer weather. I've seen countless trailers and fifthwheels on the side of the road with blown tires. I often wonder if it's anyone from this forum. Be careful, check your equipment. Don't end up like this. Just happened on I-10 just east of Tallahassee, Florida.

Run that highway all the time when I'm in FL. Guess the pic shows exactly how robust an RV is doesn't it...  AND why all should be very aware of weights, tires etc. That's not a pretty picture and I can only imagine "dad" dealing with the damage, the family etc. and after choosing to disregard weights; new tires etc. (hypothetical example - nothing to do with the pic).

I can't tell what make or model either the truck or trailer are, just that it looks like a 2WD truck. That doesn't mean or contribute anything to the story or why the accident occurred at all though, just merely an observation.

The side mirror on the driver's door appears to be a Ford mirror and, as you said, it's a 2WD. Otherwise, when I enlarge the photo, it's too fuzzy to tell much about the truck, but the wheels look like 6 lugs, so it's a F150 (I think).

Looking at the bumper as well, it looks like a ~2011 range Ford F150. hopefully everyone is ok.

That’s what happens when a Ultralight is rolling over.

It would be nice to know details on how and why it happened. I ID'ed it as a ford by the mirror also, for me unsure model year.

I-75 scares me. I stay in the right lane with cruise control on 65 mph and hope I don’t get rear ended by someone passing on the right. I used to feel relatively safe on I-10 until seeing your pic. That TT is smashed beyond recognition.

Me too... if this photo is of the "north shoulder of I-10 westbound," he spun the whole rig around and ended up facing the wrong way in traffic. Maybe he managed to get on I-10 going the wrong direction?
Monticello is the I-10/US 19 interchange, which has some confusing signage... but a nice place to have a tasty meal if you're in the mood for game meat.

Just came back from Davis Ca, and saw an older “Prowler” type trailer may 19-20’ on Hwy 97 completely on its top.
I couldn’t stop and get and get a pic.
Be safe! Was in a white out near Chemult and had to call 911 as a semi slid off coming at me and thankfully swerved right and went off the road. Almost spent the night in the truck with my dog, it was bad. Crawled for 4 hrs in 4wd for 60 miles to get home.

Didn’t bother to look. Was gone a week and just wanted to be home. My wife had to stay home and missed her terribly

We had a Dodge Durango R/T 19 or 20 years ago. 5.9L, "hot tune" required premium fuel, and all wheel drive. That little SUV would pull an elephant off it's feet and was fantastic in snow. But OMG was it thirsty! If you drove it like a "little old lady going to church" it would yield about 12 mpg. If I "drove it like I stole it"it would get 10 mpd. 
For the 2 mpg excess it was well worth it to me to enjoy myself.

Either way, the trailer will be trashed (and probably the truck).

The trailer is a Rockwood Ultra V. I've read stories about swaying issues with this model. Not sure what happened in this accident, but my heart goes out to the owner(s).
