Saw this in Texas, Coleman trailer being pulled with a 3500 2X Dodge dually with the Cummins.
The A/C unit had bowed the roof.

This is also a good reason to quit tent camping and buy a FR trailer.  |
Oh what the frig? What state was that in?

I wonder if the roof was bowed because of the weight of the A/C or if the roof had been weakened because of water damage?

I took the picture of that Wolf Spider at Hawn State Park (site #16) in Missouri. It was the biggest one I’ve ever seen.

As I was coming back off the roof down the ladder, my pants fell down.
Got 3 horn honks before I reached the bottom rung! LOL

Hope you had on that clean pair of underwear momma always told you to keep in the glove compartment!

Just saw this in a campground, it has 280 watts of solar. It has a shower and bathroom. Did I mention that it can go anywhere, he gets 8.8 miles per gallon and it will run 50mph and its fuel tanks total 114gal

Some Coleman PUPs of that era (Circa 2000) had serious roof issues. Not all, but maybe 20%. This guy's unit obviously was one of the bad ones. I had one before my current Roo and mine was still sound.
It was something to do with an error in the manufacturing process.

Of course it was. Diesel a/c units are always heavier than gasoline ones!

Window A/C mounted to a piece of plywood and set on the ground in front of the door of a .......tent! Everyone had to step over the A/C unit to get in & out then zip the flap closed as tight as possible.
