Big mistake. It nearly ran him into a ditch.
Just as a guess, small low profile trailers behind a reasonably large TV would fair better.
Even better, never aim for one intentionally.
Just a random thought I am passing along. I have seen these little devils, but not as big as the one my brother hit. He said it was about 6 feet tall.
It isn't just trucks and side winds that push you around.

About ten years ago I also tried pulling a maneuver like that with a one ton van loaded with electrical looms. Thank goodness for that extra weight but it proved to me it is best you leave things like that to themselves. Scary
