I'd like to start a pic dump of TC Fails.

I'd to see ones you personally witnessed and snapped a pic of, because you'd likely also have a little bit of a back-story. Now, Google is full of them. If you think you've found one that's noteworthy, that's ok too.

I have two - A Host Everest on a 3/4 ton at a local dealer, and a TC that got blown off it's jacks during a wind storm here.

Why would any rational person leave a camper on extended jacks anyway?


Because it's a pain to lower it down 20" with manual jacks and even more of a pain to raise it back up to truck bed height. Any time mine is off the truck, it is at truck bed height because of this reason. However, as soon as the truck is out from under it, I have a pair of saw horses placed under it that will easily carry the entire weight of the camper.

But yeah, to leave it at full height without something steadying the camper isn't very smart.

I never take pictures of peoples stupidity. Why would any rational person leave a camper on extended jacks anyway? I always lower mine as close to the ground as possible when sitting off truck and...

The Host is beyond a doubt more than the truck can handle. Poor Chebby....
