But seriously, I hope everyone is OK. This should be a good lesson to everyone, regardless of the circumstances around this to keep trailering safety in mind. Always, before hopping into the tow vehicle and pulling away, do a quick walkaround (ie. circle check) of the trailer. Make sure slideouts are in, steps up, antenna down, elctricity and hoses put away, etc...
This looks like a structural failure on its own. I can't see any sign of impact on the slide out and the opening on the side of the trailer seems to perfectly aligned with the fallen slide.
Still good advice about walk arounds though. I do one when ever we stop for gas or breaks.
Does anyone know what actually happened? It looks like awning is still out too and that is a WDW truck in the picture, that is not a good way to end or begin a trip, I too hope no one was hurt....
Yes it was in site 220 during my recent trip (it actually happened the day before this picture was taken). A tree to the right of the trailer rotted in the trunk from water intrusion and the top third of the tree fell out of the sky at suppertime (no high winds). Fell on the slide out and snapped it clean off. Nobody got hurt.
LOVE this picture!! My husband was pulled up to be the end character with a tutu, what a riot! Thanks for transporting me back to one of the funniest days of my life. My daughter and I laughed for days about that experience.
