If he had seat covers on his seats, he doesn't anymore.. They've been sucked up where the sun don't shine.. :'( :'(
Would love to see the end result..

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?

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.

If that was the case maybe a winchwould be the safer option from the start.  Hard to say without all the info.
