First, I'm really surprised that you experienced fishtail. Has anybody else had this with a TM? I've been through some brutal side winds and never felt anything, I have WDH with built-in anti-sway, did you?

Second, I do know "what might have happened". After I found out, I bought a Class C motorhome, then my current TM.

We were all OK, but I'll never feel safe towing a full upright without a Kenworth for a TV!
