Default Trailers

Tony ,

It's a rare happening , but Jeep trailers have been known to flip over . A club member here was on his way to Corowa years ago, as he approached the crest of Mt Slide, up on the Melba Hwy, the trailer suddenly flipped over.. all of his camping gear was spread out on the road verge .

I witnessed it also. I was following a Jeep up to Barooga years ago and the trailer , without any warning, jumped up and almpost went over . The road was perfect , about 40mph speed. We stopped and checked it but nothing was found . It didn't do it again .

The pintle, I believe, can rotate 360 degrees ....

Mike
