There are videos of this rig driving around, so yes, they would. It also explains the background changes.

It's likely that they were trying to limp the rig somewhere for help. Heck it's even possible they were driving it normally like that, but still, they were driving it.

Apparently this happened not once, but twice to the same owner because a different truck with the same camper and trailer is in another picture with the same bent/broken frame.

I'm amazed it drove at all. I would think the driveshaft would bend like a piece of licorice or a U joint would break from the extreme angle. Then again, maybe they dropped the driveshaft and just limped it on the front axle in 4WD.:h

Extended warranty will fix it. That is if they have insurance for folks that extend common sense.

No! Nature and poor design is what did it.

It appears that the camper tie downs were welded to the truck frame causing this weakness. This is the second truck the same owner damaged by doing this. No receiver extension was used since this trailer has an extended tongue under the camper overhang. It can be found on the Alberta Coal Rollers page within Facebook.
