There were working and recently inspected brakes on both of the trailer axles.


Chris,

Do you think a dual rear wheel tow vehicle could have helped stabilize the oscillation enough to prevent the accident?


I know you didn't ask my opinion, but short of getting something that you need a CDL to drive its tough to beat a long box, crew cab dually for towing trailers. The longer wheelbase, the wider wheelbase, and having more rubber on the road are all things that help maintain and regain control.

24' is about the max I would go for a bumper mount trailer, any bigger than that and it just gets to be too much weight being carried poorly.
