Yeah, he hooked the right side of the red barrier, bent it over. I didn't want to go over there snapping all kinds of pics. He was mad enough. BTW crappy camera phone

Reminder to self: 5th wheel trailers track inside the tow vehicle. I hit a curb in a Lowes parking lot one day. I was sure I was clear but the trailer tracks way inside the tow vehicle. In the subject case he did not have to be going very fast. You have close to 20,000 lbs of mass moving and a trailer axle is not going to do much in stopping that much momentum.

Brand new Open Range! If it was a RV.Net Forum Member just a little advise...don't EVER admit it here on the Forum till you're dying day!
That picture actually made my stomach knot up...sorry to whoever it was.

I feel paranoid sometimes as I am always watching, even straining to see in the mirrors where my wheels are tracking even on routine corners.
