I have had a few close calls over the years because of stuff like this.
Some of these companies try to do stuff so cheap that it makes it
dangerious for other traffic on the road. And lets face it the average
person drivving around with a trailer or a fithwheel are not Mechanic's.

And many people pulling tralers assume that losses to their load will be covered by their insurance when they have a problem - not true! Only the liability portion links to the load, if you damage someone elses property with something coming off of your trailer. Any loss coverage to the equipment/item carried is insured on the equipment/item. My insurance guy says it is amazing how many businesses using trailers daily think that their tools & equipment are covered by vehicle/trailer insurance when they are in fact uninsured in transit. Not sure how that works for an RV as opposed to a hauler.
