  • Not what is meant to happen!!

    First Thread!!

    So I just recently purchased my Prado and have already begun the mods. On a recent outing to the Yorke Peninsula (SA) I had the below happen at 105km/h on the return home. Bugger is its not even my camper trailer!!

    The trailer is being repaired in Minlaton and I will go back and get it. Gives me an excuse to go play in the dunes again.

    Cheers

          Was it a hired camper? If so, should be their responsibility. Glad you were safe. Bet it felt pretty bad behind the car!

            Nicely done mate, certainly a good excuse for an extra day playing! Who'd you hire the trailer from?

                    It was pretty full on ride. The suspension welds holding it to the frame gave way which then caused the suspension to act like a pole vault and launched the trailer into the air which then landed throwing the prado side to side until we came to a stop. Pretty crazy. Fortunately none of us were hurt and the only damage to the prado was a bent tow ball mount.
