Travel trailers can present special hazards to consumers on the road. Travel trailers, coming in a wide variety of sizes, lengths, and configurations, can sway on the roadway. The trailer swigs back and forth from one side to another while it is towed by a car, truck, or van. When this swaying motion occurs, it can be very difficult to regain control.

It is therefore vital to take those steps necessary to reduce or stop the sway before a tragic accident occurs. The trailer manufacturers and their retailers often fail to provide this safety information, guides, instructions, or offer courses to educate consumers about the dangers of trailer sway and what and how to react when it occurs. 

Defective Hitch

The manufacturer of the trailer, the seller/retailer of the trailer, or the hitch manufacturer, retailer, or installer, may be responsible for the sway and failure to protect you against it. They have known about this problem for many years.
