Something looks very wrong with the cabover side and floor.

Edit: It may have run into an obstacle (inexperienced driver + low tree?), and the resulting cantilever force was rhe final straw that broke the camel's back.
Also note the passenger side rear wheel. Spare? Why?

I have seen a number of pictures of simular setups over time. They look scary enough without the damage. They seem to fare OK as long as the ride is smooth. But when something goes wrong, like a speed bump or pothole at too much speed, the end result is frame damage.

Does this happen sometimes? Broken frames? Because as I go down the road sometimes I feel amazed the frame holds together with the bumps and the TC on the back.

Is the truck frame bending? It looks like the gab between the box and the cab is smaller at the bottom than the top.


I saw that also, hoped it was just the back of bed being crushed by the long camper in a short bed.
