Yeah, I did read your post in full. Just wanted to make it clear for everyone else.

My wife who reads and sometimes posts on FR was driving. As we entered a curve in the road the truck started to rock. She couldn’t stop it from rocking and it tipped over and slid down the road.

Glad to hear you're OK. But what the heck happened? A one-ton should be plenty of truck for that camper. Any idea what caused the rocking?

We entered a curve in the road and it started to rock. From then on each new tip was stronger than the last. It was like a harmonic resonance like the Tacoma Narrows bridge collapse.

Any help from Super Dave?

Looks like the camper sacrificed itself to protect the cab. As I mentioned in my earlier joking post, we have tons of rollovers in NM (I saw a guy tip his car on it’s side pulling into a parking lot.) A good number of the fatalities are due to heavy objects inside the vehicle. I witnessed one near Albuquerque where everything would have been OK but they had a floor jack in the back seat and it killed the driver.

Glad you’re well.
