Total Loss

A few words of advice.
"Don't haul when it's snowing"

Last Sunday on our way to Florida for 2 months we flipped our new trailer going 40 MPH in a snow squall on I-75. Didn't make it 50 miles from home and swoosh!!

Thank God no serious injuries- just banged up a bit. Adjuster just called and said the trailer will be scrapped. My Ram truck will need an evaluation at the dealer.

Been trailering all over the U.S. and Eastern half of Canada and never had a problem. Guess it was my time.

So beware and drive careful my friends...

Wow!, It seems to be one of those years!

I jack knifed on Jan 2 in Indiana on I-90 at 40 MPH. A little damage to both the TV and the TT.

Glad to hear you all or OK. Trucks and trailers and all the stuff we carry in them can be replaced (been there, done that, 10 years ago). People can't be.

I also am thinking of not doing the December to spring towing.

Bill,

Sorry to hear about your trailer. I suppose you're back home rather than in Florida? Good luck with the inspection on your truck and with the replacement RV. There's predicted ice/snow/rain and heavy winds in this pending "polar vortex #4"... It's supposed to be worse down around you than it is even up in the UP.

Stay safe !!!!!

Sorry to hear what happened to you guys but like the others glad your all OK. We picked up our brand new Cougar in Michigan early Nov. then went to Ontario Canada. We left there Dec. 1 and sure didn't care for the weather. In Wyoming on I80 we slid a little using both lanes to correct. Luckily there was no one beside us. A little further up there was a commercial trailer huller off on the side with a new trailer he was delivering on it's side. The truck was still upright. I was never so happy to get back to California. No more trips east in the winter time. We won't even talk about that damn salt everywhere!
