Willy willy story
(Preview)
Good story (latest GN times) about a couple injured when their rig got blown off the road.
My question is- why wouldnt all caravans be made to have the kind of tow hitch that rotates when the van rolls?, to prevent the tug rolling.
Sorry, as I'm not a 4wd owner I dont know the terminology.
