Well, I can't be of any help, but I hope when you DO get back to Ohio, you will flesh this story out a bit. A lot can be learned from the accidents of others.

Info that would be useful is what were you towing with?, how did you lose control?, is everyone alright?, that sort of thing.

Best of luck, tim o'brien (who once towed an 81 Westy with a 92 Toyota PU 150 miles)(P.S. a big no no)
