Different kind of Jack-knife

[happycamper1942]

I did this a few days ago. I was making a sharp left turn out of a narrow driveway onto the highway and the wheels of my fiver went down the ditch resulting in the bed area twisting and digging into the side of the truck bed. Very little damage to the 5th wheel.

That could happy easily, when a FW is put in a off camber maneuver. Sometimes, even good cab, and bed rail clearance, just isn't enough, but takes takes a very alert/aware driver in extreme situations. We all make mistakes, things happen...the good news...usually easier to get the TV repaired, than the trailer.

Thanks for sharing, and helping us to be more aware.

That plain sucks, I’ve seen that damage many times before though, so clearly you aren’t the only one that’s had this happen to over the years.
