Captured some stills from an Instagram video. Scary but perhaps a good reminder to do things right. I tow a 5W so not an expert on TT’s but severe fishtailing like this is due to WDH issues and overloaded to the back??

WHITE Knuckle driving at it's best. A lil slide, swing, over correct, and U R done.Captured some stills from an Instagram video. Scary but perhaps a good reminder to do things right.

I didn’t think about wind. In the video his fishtailing was severe in both directions then it took him out.With the windmills in the distance, gusts could be culprit also.
Over the last week we had 100 to 75mph gusts and they are quite regular here

The wind turbines don't create any wind. They respond to it.
The laws of physics still apply to 3/4-1 tons trucks, with it attached to the bumper it has leverage on it side. Your barking up the right tree about something wasn't set up correctly.I'm surprised he did that with a 3/4 ton.
Manually applying just the trailer brakes can help get the trailer back under control. Unless your going to hit something in front of you don't brake the truck.Would applying the trailer brakes as soon as it started swaying possibly prevented that?
The very few times I had trailer sway applying just the trailer brakes did help straighten it out but the best thing to do in high crosswinds is to get off the road at the nearest opportunity.Wow.......

Shure would have helped. Use it many times just as a preventative when towing and semis pass. A little stretch braking will save something like that from happening in almost all cases.Wow.......

And slow down.....The very few times I had trailer sway applying just the trailer brakes did help straighten it out but the best thing to do in high crosswinds is to get off the road at the nearest opportunity.
