TC Fails Pic Dump

[Boatycall]

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.

A 10 foot double slide Host isn't 4500# or more and too much for a SRW???

Not quite a TC, but definitely a fail:)

More like trailer on truck.
My neighbor has TT like that. Some of them have shower, sink and porta-potty.
Most of them have furnace and can be AC equipped.
Looks to me like this setup has potential for very long gravity dump for sewer.

Rudimentary but it looks like some of the jeep top tent systems being sold now.

LOL :B

I'd say the CG of that setup is somewhere close to the rear bumper.

That's a solution for no clearance over the cab.
Why didn't I think about it. :S

Just becouse it has Host on it - doesn't have to be heavy.
Newer 12 footers/triple slides weight a lot. The one on the picture looks like 10 footer, single slide, so SRW might be fine, depends on details.
Jacks are up and I don't see big sag.

Probably has 120 psi in the bags too......:p

Must have that "hinged frame" option 😛 LOL.

But yeah, tire rub and failure can be a real problem.

This double slide Host was parked in front of a construction site on Holmes Point Way in Kirkland, WA for about a year. I think one of the workers was living in it. I don't know the load capacity of the truck, but, the Host weighs a whole bunch --- certainly more than a SRW truck can handle...

...and I don't think there is any sway left, the rear axle is probably pinned to the frame. But I am surprised the front wheels still appear to be on the ground.
