seem to all congregate in that area. I cringe every time I have to drive through there! a good reminder that even small trailers like the T@b can sway. glad it came out ok. how fast do you think you were going when the sway started?dsatwork said:The only time on this last trip from San Diego to Washington traveling on the I-5 I had any trouble was with tailgaters. Impossible to see them when they are tailgating. There was one time that a motor cycle caused me to fishtail the T@b. He pulled up behind me in the fast lane as I was passing a truck in the middle lane that was passing a truck in the slow lane. I left my "left blinker on too long" @Sandiegogal said turn off your blinker" just as I got to top of the hill and past the truck in the middle lane. So I put on my "right blinker' and started to move to the right Just as the motor cycle I only saw for a second in my rear view mirror took off around me. This was startling to say the least, as he was moving fast and I had to react fast, but not too fast. We were now descending and I hit the breaks pulled back into the lane which sent the T@b swishing back and forth. I thought pretty quickly that hitting the breaks was probably the wrong thing to do. But, I just held my own and eased off the breaks a little but continued to apply constant pressure and let it slowly calm down. I could tell pretty quick that it wasn't getting worse and it was coming into control. But I had to fight the urge to take my eyes off the road and look to see what the trailer was doing. Basically at that point I was driving by braille. It all happened in a split second and we pulled over at the next rest stop and wondered if one of the truckers would be walking up to me to say hey nice recovery back there. Or more likely, what were you thinking? Who knows, but my angels were working overtime flying around holding the T@b in place. Not sure if you want to hear stories like that @rch2908but we have all had them at one time or another.
