Found this posted on Face Book. Looks like the boat is swaying pretty good!

At the campground this AM, a guy was walking his 160#, 18 month old English Mastiff. We asked what he was camping in. A 40' toy hauler. The garage is a kennel. He needed it. (The dog's sire was 240# and the dame was 230#. This dog had not NEARLY filled out yet.)

I have always heard a picture is worth a thousand words. I guess they are also helpful for a complete towing analysis.

Itโ€™s amazing from two still pictures we know that the boat is swaying, itโ€™s clamped to the travel trailer, and the pickup with a beat up exterior (and perfect maintenance record?) is overloaded and dragging its bumper!

I just read another post about how we really donโ€™t need weight distribution hitches on all vehicles/receivers. Maybe this guy is actually using one and at least gets a silver star for that! ๐Ÿ™‚

No, that type of thing is never "perfectly fine", it's an accident waiting to happen. One can only hope he doesn't take anyone else with him when it does.

Apparently it's perfectly fine until someone takes a picture...

Yeah, I noticed that the front seems to kind of hang down a bit farther than the rear. I'd sure want him behind me rather than in front.

Sometimes I put our two dirt bikes in the bed of my truck when we travel. Just depends on if we take the dogs and need the TH to be a rolling kennel.

When people ask why there aren't in the trailer I just say the nice one's are in there. Lol

The worst part of that is that the boat is attached to the TT with a clamp on bumper receiver!!!!
