When leaving this winter in January for our winter trip in the RV, it had been below freezing for several days with a little snow. The day we left it was 50 degrees with an 8% grade downhill on a bermuda lawn and cambered to the left. Quickly found out the ground was still frozen with a 1/4" of slop on top that had melted. The RV started jackknifing to the left. Got off the truck brake and started feathering the trailer brake trying to bring it back around with zero success. The Rv was headed sideways to a big tree that would fold it in half until hitting the throttle on the truck to outrun the jackknife. Problem was there was a steel fence 200' ahead, but the approach downhill to the fence was graveled, the RV tires grabbed the gravel and after a couple of heart attacks, we got out of the driveway, shocked that the RV didn't turn over with the sharp turn. Long story short, we are going to build a new road from where we park the RV to the main road so that crap doesn't happen again.</blockquote>
