Maybe he had his radio turned up full volume or maybe he is hearing impaired. But he should have noticed something wrong by looking in his mirrors.
I would never have believed this if I had not seen the pictures!

look closely you can see the velcro on the bed rails. ...and I thought zip ties were cool...
All things in moderation, except acceleration!

The pin looks to be a full foot or more behind the hitch head, if there even is one installed! He was ignoring you on purpose as he was fully aware of the problem from the first glance into his windshield mounted rear view mirror and seeing his trailer further back than normal and riding on the bed rails, but as it had obviously happened early in his trip and seemed to remain attached without damaging his truck, he was now determined to get the thing home at all costs. You can't be towing something like that with all of that grinding and groaning going on back there without being aware of it, I don't car how light that fiver is!
5th Wheel hitch? Was I suppost to buy a hitch for the truck? The trailer has the hitch thingy hanging out the front! I had the king pin thingy hanging over the tailgate, but it slipped forward on me!
