all right, so the story goes like this. said goodbyes, dump the tanks, head on out. truck feels a little loose, bump up the air pressure a little bit (90lbs). hear a little "ting" and all hell breaks loose. truck bed drops about 11 inches on the drivers side, camper lurches over into on coming traffic, smoke starts pouring out from under the truck. im trying to stop the truck, keep the kids calm, trailer in my lane, and pulling off the road. i get the truck stopped, jump out and check the damage. first thing thats apparent is i lost an air bag, tire, and my clean shorts. upon further inspection my pan hard bar ripped out a chunk of my frame . made a few phone calls and had a 6x6x8 chunk of oak delivered. jacked the truck up, cut the air bag out, ratchet- strapped the wood in place and slowly drove home. i think the frame ripped and the weight of the camper pushed the bag into the tire, rubbing a hole in it. and now the pics.
OUCH. It this a case of "The bigger they come,....,.."
Yea that could have been a whole lot worse, Glad you made it home and nobody got hurt. Sounds like it could have turned into a roll over,...
