I have been towing for 12 years with 4 different coaches. 1. Incident was the first time pulling dodge Dakota and I turn the key off steering lock up, 2 new front tires. 2. Hitch broke a main weld. 3. Pin came out of connection on truck. When you see front of truck in your side mirror you have a problem. 4. Weld broke on hitch. 5. Tow bar was not level and truck came up over the ramp into my Motorcycle. I have also had the base mounts get loose on the truck. I have always had the ramp on the back of the coach and that has kept the truck away from the coach. No damage was ever done until this last event and the truck did 4K damage to the motorcycle. This should have never happen except I was not level and I stop downhill, hit bump and brake all at the same time. Three out of the five were my fault and the other two were probably also from overloading. I always have a Brake Buddy in the truck except it has never activated because the tow vehicle has never separated. Be sure and have the tow bar level and check when ever you stop.I have posted some pictures.
