A month ago, I went to Georgia with my 1 ton van and car hauler to purchase a new to us coach. Drove all home, towing van on trailer. Stopped in Van, Tx at a truckstop to get something to eat.
Came out and everything looked fine. About an hour later hit a severe dip and that took the trailer off the coach and broke the saftey chains. Bad dip, I tell ya. I looked in rear monitor seeing van image get smaller and smaller. Noticed in mirror that van and trailer were digging into concrete and they came to rest against a guard rail. Someone could have been killed. Upon inspection of trailer noticed that someone at truckstop had opened and secured the bull dog hitch.
If I had not just purchased this coach, with nothing on board to eat, I would have never stopped at a truckstop for any length of time.
There are a lot os sick people out there. I am lucky |
