Was Vehicle Towed: -	Description of the Complaints: Drove over two or three rough bridges. leaf springs on left side of trailer flattened & lost their support, causing the tires to rub on underside of trailer with a breaking action to that side, causing travel trailer to go out of control. trailer was declared a total loss by insurance company due to bent frame after loss of control. no one was injured nothing was hit nothing hit trailer. i feel there should be a stop on the underside of every travel trailer on the road, to stop the axle before the tire can break on the underside of any trailer. this is not only a danger to people towing trailers but to everyone driving on the roadways. *nm
