A friend of mine bought a new camp trailer. It was maybe 18 feet long, the kind you would take to deer camp and two of you live in it for a week. This was his first experience with a trailer and he and his wife were real proud of it. They lived in a subdivision called Highland Estates, like real hilly country! He had parked the trailer at the side of the road just off his property. There was a slight slope in the road at this location. The front of the trailer was up hill, but the weight of the trailer was on the tongue so no problem. The problem came when his wife wanted to show it off to her friends. All three of them (large women) went into the trailer and went to the back and sat down at the kitchen table. That shifted the weight off the tongue, to the rear of the trailer. The front of the trailer came off its blocks and away the trailer went, tongue in the air, down the slope, across a berm at the end of the road and into a brush field. The ladies were thrashing around in the back of the trailer, and squealing throughout the wild ride to the bottom of the hill. Thank goodness no injuries but lots of skin damage to the “new” trailer. We laugh about that incident at least once a year.
