I couldn't feel any pull from the RV, but, allot of smoke from the RV wheels sliding across the highway. Also the RV was tilted to the outside of the turn allot. My question is, what would happen if the RV went over the bank? Would it take the truck with it, or would the hitch pin brake? Are these pins sacifical? This was a close call.

The answer to your question Bob; All the roll overs you see in the ditch involving Commercial Trucks with a trailer attached both are always attached laying in the ditch.
