"Wreck ITSELF"???
No, I don't think so.
The driver deliberately set out to do as much damage as he could.
He succeeded.
Note that the Dodge Chassis held up quite well!

As for the "CHEAP RV", keep in mind it survived for 30 years or so, when properly used!

That video circled around a couple of years ago and it STILL makes me laugh out loud. I would give my eye teeth to take a motor home and run it around a track with jumps like that!!!


Thanks for posting it.

That camper looked better than my buddies class C. He would have been pissed.

I've seen Class C's pass me doing 50+ on the Alaska Hwy over bumps worse than that and survive. He must have loosened a few bolts in advance.

True, being that it was a "Tough Truck" competition, I'd say the truck part did pretty well, the Camper part is another story.

No longer a class C - now re-classified as a pop-up - or is that a fold-down?
