Certain travel trailers equipped with the bedroom slide option #966. These travel trailers can experience towing instability at speeds in excess of 55 mph. If this situation is not controlled it could lead to a loss of vehicle control resulting in personal injury and/or a vehicle crash. Correction: Dealers will equipped the travel trailer with steel plates along the chassis main rails in order to provide the maximum towing performance possible by optimizing the tongue load.
