Thanks for all the feedback everyone has given me up til now. Here is a new question. I pretty much know what to do in a car to correct a skid / get it back under control.
I expect 18 wheelers will most likely be passing me, and in Texas it will probably be real windy so it won't suprise me if the trailer starts to swing left to right at some point. Maybe it won't ever happen, but if it should, how do I correct it?
Stomp the gas and try to drive out of it? Stay steady and wait for it to come back in line? Take my foot off the gas to slowly slow down? I really don't know, how does one recover from a trailer swinging back and forth at speed?
We have a 2006 4x4 Chevy Crew Cab 2500 HD Diesel pulling a 36' 5er.
Thanks,
Eddie
