[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 4196089, member: 5412"] It appeared to be icy to me as well which bode well on the vehicle hitting the camper as it allowed the camper to slide out of the way. A lot of people that tow aren't familiar with how to tow in slick conditions. I drove a semi for Bekins Van lines for a time. There is a manual trailer brake lever that can be used to keep the trailer behind you vs beside you by feathering it in icy or hydroplane conditions. I had to use it once when icy and letting off the pedal to coast. The trailer kept coming around the tractor, so lightly feathered it while also lightly accelerating which pulled it out of the slide. Then used the trailer brake only to move to the side of the road and sit. Every trailer brake control has the same option in tow vehicles although I don't think most folks know what it's for or how to set the bias in the controller, nor recognize the bias may have to be changed with brake wear.
