Another drop




These poor folks :(

They live up from us a bit and have had so much bad luck.
Their last truck and trailer took so many hits they sold everything
and started over.

Last week this happened when operating the slide hitch when getting ready to come home from wherever they were.

    The size of his truck has nothing to do with the damage.

    :S

    Last truck & trailer now this!

    They may want to revise their procedures OR just give up.

    A tried and true procedure....then do NOT deviate from it.

    When we are hooking up or unhitching and a neighbor wants to visit I stop...visit and then start over from the beginning.

    That's a bummer. They need a Bedsaver or the one from Butch's (the one I have).
