Trailer body detached from frame while towing down the interstate. Seriously?
Let me know if you’ve ever seen a camper body completely detached from the frame while towing. The guy’s truck is still connected to the intact trailer frame.
I’ve heard multiple people complain their 2021 MY rockwood geo pro TTs have multiple loose bolts, which mount the floor to the frame.

The truck looks like a transporting truck with business sticker on the door. It would be so screwed up if it’s just out of the factory. Coachmen needs to improve.

Some day people will learn that cell phone video is much better if they hold the phone on its side (horizontally), much better field of view.

The door side fromnt damage on the TT makes me wonder if it jackknifed and knocked the body off of the frame. At least it didn't scatter debris over a lot of roadway.

The trailer stayed together pretty well. But that is a bad spot to camp.
Yes, that is definitely a transport truck. I did not see any damage to the trailer. Nothing twisted like a jack knife would cause.
I agree worth seeing and crazy video.
Humm, a YouTube short vs Tiktok.

There is more to this story that we don't know about.
No way the the cabin just came of the frame.
There had to have been a critically placed impact, which could easily pull all the mounting bolts through the cheap @$$ OSB flooring.

This seems to be a trait common to women.
I've told my wife countless times to hold her phone horizontal. 
I think she holds it vertical now just to irritate me.

I had a 2016 Forest River - Coachman, Freedom Express. The frame ripped apart where one of the suspension brackets mounted. The frame ripped completely through. I filed a safety report and contacted the manufacturers including Forest River and Lippert. They were useless.

It’s more common with folks under 40, as I’ve learned, and is also more common in some social media platforms. It has its advantages but I prefer landscape as well.

It's either that or it proves they never listen to us anyway.

Wonder what caused the trailer frame to get bent? Seems like it should be flat from front to back and not bent in a couple of spots. Would be real hard to build a flat floor on an undulating chassis. I will vote for the jackknife theory that caused the apparently small frame to buckle and pull out the attachment bolts.

Ultra lite, we use less fasteners. You can't expect things to last forever.
