Got your attention??
Check this video out. Couldn't figure out how to post the link from Facebook so took a video on phone. I think he is doing it wrong.

How is he even moving forward, it looks like the rear wheels are almost in the air. That is beyond scary.

(chuckle) yeah, we RVers do tend to have a can-do attitude, eh? 
I can't believe he wasn't stopped by a LEO somewhere. That suburban looks like a wasp with its tail in the air.

WOW! I'm seeing it and still not believing my eyes. I would like to really see how it's attached though.
When I read the thread title, I was fully expecting to see this oft posted one below:

Whats even more troubling is that this appears to be here in the US (south west possibly) and it looks like he/she is heading back out on the road from the fuel station.

Hey ryand, they are coming out with a Dumb and Dumber II movie in a few weeks. Are you sure this wasn't their tour bus? I could actually picture Jim Carrey stepping out of the Suburban.

As long as he's got some sort of sway bar on the hitch I'm sure he'll be fine at highway speeds.

We have calculations for tongue weight and pin weight, anyone from the weight police have a reverse fiver towing calculator?
The original post from another forum mentioned something about Bakken so probably Montana, North Dakota or Canada.

I could actually use something like that. I wonder how much it costs.
I have a 5th wheel and a suburban. It’s currently parked permanent but I might need to move it if the river floods (which has happened in the past). I would just be moving it across the campground though.
The campground doesn’t have any way to move it either.

Yea, I actually found a thread about it in the product review forum on this site. I bit pricey for the number of times I might actually need it.
I’d be better off just finding a friend with a 5th wheel hook-up on their truck.

Makes sense. The review threads are always interesting- something always smells fishy about the person doing the reviews. They're overly enthusiastic about the product and always seem to have some kind of tie back to the company/owner even if they're "just a friend". And then there is the flipside- everyone else views this as a solution in search of a problem. I can imagine so few scenarios where this might make some sense that it's hard to see both sides of the coin.

They need a reverse WDH, something to add weight to the back of the Suburban.
Side note, I bet that Suburban can do one heck of a burnout with the trailer hooked up.
