A bad day of camping is better than ... Well maybe not

Don't know if any other fifthwheel owners saw this, but this is always my nightmare:

Believe it or not, I found the original news story on that a while back and nobody was hurt. The guy and his son made it out the passenger side!!

Those gas station roofs always give me the willies. Their supposed to be at least 14' or more up, but it's hard to tell sometimes.

That was a bank drive through... not high enough obviously. Too many drivers have no clue where ALL the corners of their vehicles are.

Who built that thing!

Camping trailers are not that well built but obviously better than that car port thing. Did you see the way it fell over! The columns just pulled loose. I think the local building officials should take a look and the owner should buy him a new truck. Granted the trailer and overhang damage should be on the driver, but that structure should not have fallen over that easily.
Mj carpenter since1986. Just for reference I've seen 15000 # forklifts hit buildings and that doesn't happen.

We got a lot of laughs out of that one! Did everyone notice how almost all of the fool RV drivers just kept on going? Imagine the surprise later.....

That one isn't too far from me, there is another one in Raleigh, NC on Peace St that is pretty good about eating trucks too.

Im not from Kalaforien but I don't see where the building owner owes him a new truck, (but that's just me)

Oh la la !
What a nightmare for any 5er owner.
As a professionally trained bus driver we have been trained on the principal of GOAL.
"GET OUT AND LOOK!"

Saves you a tonne of time in the long run.
