CG photos that make you say "huh?"
This just pulled in about 15 min. Ago. And yes the antenna was up when it pulled in. You got to enjoy the classic look though!

My neighbor in a small motorhome on a F450 chassis is using a bottle jack under his front axle (tire's an inch off of the ground) to level his rig (or is waiting a really long time for a tire change).

Hope his back wheels are chocked. And he must not have kids, I think my trailer is on rockers sometimes with all the kids bouncing around

Grandpa and Grandma with 2 grandsons. No clue about chocks or anything. I just noticed and thought- "huh, how about that."

We were sitting around the fire pit drawing images in the sand while chatting and a guy pulling a TT drove by. The antenna was titling down at a sharp angle into the roof of the trailer. It looked like an anchor that was dropped for a boat. We were thinking that the antenna might not have been returned to the center arrow before being lower down. Later it was in a normal position but hopefully the roof was not damaged. A simple walk-around and looking up would have come in handy before hitting the road.
I'm surprised on how many people will tow while the roof vents are wide open that don't have vent covers. My cousin didn't think much about it until she ended up cleaning the TT again upon arriving at camp. There seems to be lots of sand & dust while traveling from Las Vegas.

The guy with the Antenna up was lucky, no low hanging tree limbs. Camping last year, folks next door had to move because water flooded their campsite, also their Sat. Antenna outside. They forgot the other antenna was up, opps, tree limb got it. I am amazed to walk around the campsites when we are camping to see how many don't even have chocks out, just the stabilizers down.

What's wrong with that? His girlfriend just wanted to watch her soaps on the way to the campground.

Saw this at Clayton Lake in New Mexico. Now that isn't even a camping site and that is all the farther the 4 wheel drive could pull it. I still wonder how he got it our of there.

DH is def better at the set up and tear down than I am, but I still do the walk around double check before we pull out. It's easy to miss roof things if you don't step back a bit.
As for the 5er above ~ what was he thinking?????
