Post by: alnjan on July 15, 2013, 01:39:34 PM: Well that at least explains why the camper stayed so straight while sliding backwards down the track and not jack knifing.

I would have been interesting commentary. Makes you wonder just what they were trying to do?

Post by: duggie on July 15, 2013, 07:06:08 PM: My guess would be that he had help pull the down facing 4x4 back on to the road after the down facing 4x4 had slipped of the road. Once straight the wet/slippery conditions allowed the downward facing 4x4 to slip further down the slope towing the Nissan and camp trailer with it.
