Every since I picked this camper up, I've been unhappy with the geometry on the tie downs. I had a design in my head for them, but never made the time to sit down and draw them out for the CNC table.
A few weeks ago, I was coming home from a trip to the desert and stopped in the middle of nowhere (Boron, CA) for fuel. A few bikes pulled into the pump in front of me, so I backed out so not to wait for them, and managed to back into the most retardedly located telephone pole *IN THE WORLD*.
Pole:
Amazingly, there was almost no damage to the camper at all, so I bought a coke, took a deep breath and continued on my way.
Camper:
Got home. Unloaded. A few days later I went to have my truck washed and noticed something strange..
DOH!
Swung by the body shop to get a better look at the damage yesterday.
With the poor geometry of my tie downs, the camper just slammed into the back of my cab and my truck took the damage. I was wondering why it had sounded so loud but been so minor..
Nothing major to the front of the camper.
