The Ort's pre Christmas adventure Camper Crash on I40

12/23/2008 Heading home from Little Rock, AR to Jackson, TN pulling our 31 foot Flagstaff camper trailer when we hit a patch of ice on the east bound bridge interstate 40 at Brinkley, AR exit 216. We jack knifed and rolled. All 6 of us were buckled in and ok except for bruises and scratches. God was really good to us! I think I'm going to complain to the Forest River people that their 831KRSS leaks air and water and I want a refund! Lol! You all be safe on the road and Merry Christmas to you all from doktirbob

Funny you should say that. Once we had a rental vehicle and were heading home, I called the RV dealership I bought the trailer from and told them I had a complaint...the trailer had wind and rain coming inside from several places and wanted to know what they were gonna do. When he told me to bring it in, I brought him up to speed. We all had a good laugh and later they made me a great deal on another trailer.....we made the same trip in 2009 which thankfully was much less eventful.

if god was so good to you then why did he let you crash and destroy your truck and trailer?

@vinculum479 , sorry for the delay in answering, but I look at it like this...stuff is replaceable, people aren't. I'd gladly lose my camper and suv and be blessed with all 6 of us walking away safely as we did. I guess it's all a matter of perspective. Thanks for your comment/question!

to top it off, 41 feet v what maybe 12 feet of car, soon as that trailer sways it will not even feel that car there, and the trailer will take you on its own ride
