Close Call
On the Oregon coast, my wife and I drove for 5 hours to get to our next destination. Anyway, I fell asleep at the wheel on a curvy road. My wife yelled, I woke up to see the Truck and RV half way in the soft shoulder. I turned back to the center of the road, as I did I could see the 5th wheel 30 degrees off center and going off the bank. 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.
