Would have liked to see how the 5er truck combination initially came to rest. Did the hitch separate from the truck in the crash, or was that done by the crew working to clean up the mess. Was the gas turned on and the refrigerator running when the accident took place? My 5er has propane tanks on both sides of the rig, so you wouldn't have been able to shut off the gas if it was laying on it's side like that. Never really thought about it before but it's kind of interesting that the ac units broke free and fell off. Kind of wonder if that was in initial impact with the truck, or when the rig tipped over. Would have liked to seen pictures of how the tow vehicle looked and whether or not it ended up on it's side too.
I'm also a little curious as to how the rescue folks determined where to cut that access hole into the roof. Was it random, could they see into the trailer to figure out where to cut etc.
As for the riding in the trailer debate, I don't even like riding in a motorhome because of what might happen in a crash with all the contents flying around. Can't imagine the chaos that took place in that 5er
