Dan and Dawn - glad you guys are ok minus some adrenaline.
I thought I was in trouble towing the trailer home this past Sunday afternoon. As we hit the exit ramp ("s" shaped ramp) from the interstate the rain was coming down hard. It has not rained here in weeks (currently experiencing a drought) and the oils on the road quickly made a slick surface. As I went around the curve the exhaust brake cut-in and the Hensley slipped to the opposite side throwing the trailer weight (30' Classic) and it started to push the rear of the truck around. Luckily some quick steering and throttle solved the issue. Yep - my heart was beating quickly!
