Quite true, especially if he's from Australia.
Watched a guy setting up at Lake Cushman in his gas motorhome and he put BIG chocks in front of the rear wheels and raised all four corners to level the coach. After the nites rain, it slid forward and bent all four jacks. Had to have the jacks removed before it could be moved.

All it takes is a walk through any campground to see some pretty dumb things, one example being these pics I took a few seasons ago ...





... so although we'll never know for sure I'm leaning to this "extreme driveway" being a real setup, not just for taking a photo. :R

If that photo is real .... then the person who setup that trailer doesn't believe in earthquakes or heavy big-wheelers rolling past the house.

I vote for a clever Photoshop job.

I'm thinking maybe he has a fifth wheel hitch and an ordinary travel trailer.

Does he have to drive his Tow Vehicle up onto ramps just to hook up?
I have a hard time believing this wasn't a photo done just for laughs.

My thought was, if it moves a couple of inches forward the fall would do a LOT of damage.Kind of glad I live in an area that was planed flat by the last set of glaciers.

He better hope his insurance agent doesn't drive by. That is just ridiculous.
