Yes, the repair videos would be interesting to watch... It's always an adventure working by yourself.... Good job getting it back upright without even more damage...
your one hell of a guy keep up the good work and hell yeah congrats on the awesome new camper thats gonna be one hell of an awesome resale it can really go good towards your camper and brewing business this new motorhome you speak of is exciting i wonder what you got
I like to drain our water heater and bypass it so no antifreeze goes into it; it seems like it takes a couple of weeks of camping the following spring to get rid of the taste. Great video.
Considering the amount of damage that could have resulted from falling off the trailer,it was fairly light and easily fixable. Great buy and definitely video the repairs.
Those things are made cheaply. Unless the skin was removed, or it was checked to the "stud" level. he has no idea the damage it suffered. And likely won't care. They frame them with 1x1s a lot of times. Soft woods too. Any roof leak means you likely have deep mold in it.
Damn bro that was a great video. I liked how you kept yourself pretty calm and head on your shoulders. I wound have been curled up in a ball crying on the dirt ground for about 2 hours then I’d walk around pacing wondering how I’m going to explain it to my wife. Then I would have called a mobile crane guy and over pay him to get it upright. Then hire someone tomorrow to charge me way too much to transport it to my house. Then avoid eye contact with my family for a few weeks and one day go inside it and think about getting it ready for sale. 😂❤
Dude wow good for you, your ability to stay so calm and still film the video after that incident wow i would have been off the deep end with it tipping .. good man
Love the Chieftan in the background of your opening. Many good memories vacationing in one with my family/grandparents as a child! Nice looking slide-in unit, short of the self-inflicted oopsie!
yes want to see the repairs and what about microwave/air Friar combination unit? 24v with 600 or 800ah electrical system? Induction cooktop? Gasoline/diesel heater? 12v refrigerator? Increasing solar panels and solar charge controller? Maximize rooftop solar panels and enough for some portable panels? Essentially eliminating the need for propane if possible? Election water heater? Truck charging with DC to DC module? Thanks and have a great day
Wow you where unlucky but also very lucky that you where not under it and hardly any damage done to the side. Love your vids watching here in EASTYORKSHIRE England.
Man oh man. That tip over could have been a lot worse. Great job on getting it back on the trailer! And yes, some video on repairs would be great. Thank you Dustin and God bless!
That ratchet strap that caught on the left fender of the trailer while you pulled the camper the rest of the way upright likely saved it from bouncing off the right side after touchdown. It also pulled the crushed fender up and off the tires too. I would claim that was your plan since it worked out perfectly. ;-)
I wanted to comment on the Shadow Cruiser, you have on your pickup. I had three of them, 2 truck mounts and one fifth wheel. I loved those units, they were absolutely great. And like everything, that is made great, they sell out to another company, and either it turns into junk, or just plain disappears.
You are a lucky man, what an oh crap moment, that could have been bad. I was going to deal on a F 350 2012 with 40 k diesel for $35k flatbed until I heard a loading story of how a camper slipped off the side of a similar one and was sold for scrap for $100.00 OUCH!
Can hardly wait for the Wild motor-home video, that's what got me hooked on your channel in the first place, although the beer factory pick-up was pretty wild too.
its possible that strap that caught the fender may have been a blessing stopping it from tipping over on the other side. maybe maybe not we'll never know. either way good job for being by yourself.
If you keep buying these long term you need to build a couple of long gantry beams you can put under the campers to jack them up and back the trailer underneath.
You got lucky on the purchase price, the jacks being included AND the minimal damage from tipping the camper over. I hope you'll show us the repair process. PLEASE show us the ratchet strap trick your wife showed you. I have been using zip ties to secure the loose ends.
Check the inside of those fenders behind the wheels. We had the sheet metal popped loose and it scraped the inside rim of a tire and shredded it. Needs to be riveted.
Should be fixable. Check the roof for leaks make sure to seal it good. The rest is cosmetic. I thought it would flip on the other side when you were righting it. Keep the door just put an 1/8 inch veneer of plywood over it stained to match.
You need a tilt deck trailer, that way the camper could have stayed level and the deck can come slowly down as the camper is winched on. The front end of the camper was too high causing it to be unstable as you were winching it on. Got lucky there wasn't any more damage.
I'm not a huge 'truck camper' fan but, I will say, good on Palomino(Forest River, isn't it?)... even while still laying on its side, sort of, I couldn't see any twist to the frame/structure. The interior/jack damage, can't be laid on them(that's all you. lol). That said.. open gate.. no one around.. locking up without verifying no one was in the compound.. letting folks maybe get injured with no supervision/assistance, etc, etc. ANYONE could have driven in, loaded up, and stolen your camper, or any other unit present. They are simply LUCKY, that you weren't injured.
Inflation crazy I remember my dad bought a brand new weekender 10 1/2 foot cabover camper it cost 1,800 dollars and a brand new Chevy pickup it was 2,100 out the door😊
Just subscribed, and i know everyone wants to give their opinion and share their ideas. There is one thing you must do, and it is not an opinion or optional, and that is .....do not work alone. Find you a trustworthy buddy to tag alone. If something happens to you, that would be catastrophic if you are by yourself.
@@SAMMIEJONESJUNIOR I do alot of things alone. But I slow down when things can be dangerous. I problem over think things but I just want to explore the what ifs.
Sorry that happened brother, I had extensions made for those jack brackets that push the jacks outside the trailer fenders. Then you can just back the trailer under it. It will make a nice rig I'm sure.
Wow! That's Wild, Heavy, Unruly, annd Unfortunate brother!....I'm surprised it didn't collasp upon itself. You got lucky. The Force was with you that day.😎👍
To pick one of those up in the future, I would use a pick up truck. I like the metal skinned one on your truck, I've already had my go around with fiberglass skinned campers, and all I will say is, never again. I wound up buying a Custom Coach Corporation bus conversion, she needs some love too, but I love it.
😊 Come on bro it didn't slip off you accidentally tipped it over with the trolley jack you had under the front, the camera was "turned off" at a very convenient time when that happened 😂. But nice work saving it and fortunately no major damage 👍
Thank you for your comment I fully agree with your comment - what a surprise NO footage of the camper tipping over. it's a pleasure to know that us viewers have more common sense to see BS when we see it..
You got a good score. Thats awesome. Glad you won that bid. Sucks theyre so light n front heavy otherwise that turn would a been better. But who would a rmthought that could ever happen. This is why id like to build my own. But i like them light n i like a longer bed. Simple accident i would tied down after i got thru the gates too. Who would a ever thought they tip that easy. I read about them all the time. But i never would a thought. It happens at least its all cosmetic damage. My rv has some too from a tree. From previous owners but it doesnt leak or anything it just looks bad if you notice it. Tookna corner once too fast on a side rd n hit some small dandy gravel where someone else must a hit n almost wiped the 30 ftr out. Scared me iw wasn't going that fast but the tires i dont like. I pumped rhe breaks n stopped it. But i felt her lean she could a rolled. She is also top heavy but very light in the top of that makes sence n can roll easy. When its windy i prefer not to drove her all that fast or far. But shes still alive n kickin. Im about to redo her this spring. Weird part is all my heay stiff is on the one side. Fridge water sewer. Its strange. Ya think they would a thought of that. I think all the 89s n older were built like that and built very thin walls. Now im looking for a camper. The price of that one is awesome id never buy one unless i found one that cheap but i will builf my own. Shes beauty. Huge bed on her looks lie a king bed ❤ Glad you made it home. Hope it easnt too windy on the way home. Best flip ever ❤
I thought the same but it was already up on the trailer bed when it fell off, the camera was "turned off" at a very convenient time right as it fell over, my guess is that he accidentally tipped it over with the trolley jack that he had under the front end and he edited that bit out of the video.
Just curious how that’s works? So the yard or the auction house let you load on your own purchase? Do they offer for a fee fork lift, yard pay loader, sky lift?
Paint the decals save money fix dent on white and tractor supply selles quarts of white paint with clear in white 1 stage paint last a long time 30 a quart without activated
Hey...🤔 Maybe you should CREATE A "JIG" of sorts (like with some 4x4s for strength AND MAINLY STABILITY, maybe the height of that lil bottom section that fits in between fenderwells on truck bed, that u can slide into place horizontally and lock down like with a steel pin or something, once u establish the Width of camper, that way it will give you a helping hand keeping it from going sideways on you...💁♀️🤔 just a thought..since u seem like a "McGyver kinda guy!" 😃👍🏽 Good luck and PLEASE STAY SAFE so we can continue watching ur videos. Very informative 👏
Almost a blessing the other stuff was missing (microwave, house battery etc.), those 40lb jacks could have done a lot more damage had those items been in the unit. You got lucky.
Watched to see how it happened but of course it was cut out. Once it was up all you needed was a sheet of plywood under it. Why still using the jack in the front?
It looks like your at Copart? I'm surprise someone from Copart wasn't with you when you were loading out I'm happy you didn't get hurt and the camper didn't suffer much damage
My heart was in my throat as the camper came back down on to the trailer, praise the Lord it did not bounce off the other side. Biggest rush I have had watching a youtube vid in many a year, thankyou brother.
I would like to see the repairs. Dodged a bullet on this one, Thanks for letting us come along.
Give the people what they want Dustin!
I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole after falling the roof may not show hardly any damage. All campers are made cheap. It will leak!
I'm not sure how a rubber sheet would leak after falling over
@@LifeofLind
this coming from the guy that dumped a camper on its side!
Yep not touching that with a 10ft pole if its wood construction its fucked if its aluminum even worse with how shitty the factory welds are
Yes, the repair videos would be interesting to watch... It's always an adventure working by yourself.... Good job getting it back upright without even more damage...
I like how calm and cool you were while filming. Great attitude. Nice job bro.

Man, thanks for sharing your experience. Been there. Hope you find it a good home.
Would love to see repairs. The best videos on the TUBE are the ones that teach others something. Thanks for sharing this with us.
More to come!
was thinking it was going to fall off the ramp trying to load it.good video thank you.maybe next time put it on a pick up truck.
That's a big job for one person, Well done on the recovery 👏
Wow glad nobody was hurt. Love your channel. Thanks for posting this too.
Yes!
I want to see the repairs you made. Love watching your videos. Keep 'em coming!
Rick, in Joshua Tree, Ca.
More to come!
very creative way of bringing back on its bottom with what you had to work with.
Thanks, I was sweating bullets when it happened!

yeah adding solar and a 200 ah lithium battery now, maybe we can add some more off grid ability to it
Wow you where unlucky but also very lucky that you where not under it and hardly any damage done to the side.
Love your vids watching here in EASTYORKSHIRE England.
very lucky! thank you
Man oh man. That tip over could have been a lot worse. Great job on getting it back on the trailer! And yes, some video on repairs would be great. Thank you Dustin and God bless!
Could have been worse, i will take my time next time
I wrap my straps the same way, works great and never had a failure since I switched
That ratchet strap that caught on the left fender of the trailer while you pulled the camper the rest of the way upright likely saved it from bouncing off the right side after touchdown. It also pulled the crushed fender up and off the tires too. I would claim that was your plan since it worked out perfectly. ;-)
I think you are right!
It wasn't even close to going off the other side.
I wanted to comment on the Shadow Cruiser, you have on your pickup. I had three of them, 2 truck mounts and one fifth wheel. I loved those units, they were absolutely great. And like everything, that is made great, they sell out to another company, and either it turns into junk, or just plain disappears.
my favorite camper so far!
Definitely video the repairs. You did a great MacGyver job getting the camper back on the trailer. 👍🤣
Thanks 👍
You are a lucky man, what an oh crap moment, that could have been bad. I was going to deal on a F 350 2012 with 40 k diesel for $35k flatbed until I heard a loading story of how a camper slipped off the side of a similar one and was sold for scrap for $100.00 OUCH!
you can hire a company with insurance to move cars and trucks but these things people wont touch... so its up to me
Can hardly wait for the Wild motor-home video, that's what got me hooked on your channel in the first place, although the beer factory pick-up was pretty wild too.
will be out soon
Looking forward to many more videos. Always liked your videos!
Thanks!
its possible that strap that caught the fender may have been a blessing stopping it from tipping over on the other side. maybe maybe not we'll never know. either way good job for being by yourself.
I agree
A pickup camper needs a pickup to haul it dah!
If you keep buying these long term you need to build a couple of long gantry beams you can put under the campers to jack them up and back the trailer underneath.
good idea
Make sure they are same length next time!
That harbor freight jack never fails😂😅
haha yup
You got lucky on the purchase price, the jacks being included AND the minimal damage from tipping the camper over. I hope you'll show us the repair process.
PLEASE show us the ratchet strap trick your wife showed you. I have been using zip ties to secure the loose ends.
I would bet that strap that got caught on the fender prevented the camper from going over again. Great recovery being alone.
I was just thinking I would like to see the repair video and then you asked . So yes please 👍
You got super lucky. Also would love to see the repairs
Soon as the music hit and the video of you loading it started, I had a "Oh this isn't gonna end well" feeling
and it didnt haha, i guess its okay i made it home
Check the inside of those fenders behind the wheels. We had the sheet metal popped loose and it scraped the inside rim of a tire and shredded it. Needs to be riveted.

yeah it's the wild west back there. could use at least one person full time in that lot
Inflation crazy I remember my dad bought a brand new weekender 10 1/2 foot cabover camper it cost 1,800 dollars and a brand new Chevy pickup it was 2,100 out the door😊
wish we still had those prices
Good thing their were no appliances. Much less stuff to break and made it lighter to upright.All and all great save.
indeed!

Reminds me of the guys at the boat launch lmao
Top heavy

Yes have a wonderful weekend!

3 grand for a 2022 Palomino sounds too good to be true. even if a few of the ameneties r missing. killer deal
Shit happens brother.. nobody is hurt and you handled it. Great job and god bless my friend
agreed and thanks
You’re amazing to get it back on that trailer by yourself.
The trailer fender slowed the landing and prevented it from tipping again over the other side.
You are lucky. That strap that destroyed your finder keep it from going off the other side.
Love those old MH’S you have sitting around‼️
me too!
I look forward to seeing that camper restored! 😎
👍👍
That's a nice camper love to see the repairs
Functionable? Learned a new word today.
Please take us along on the repairs and the how To's. Thanks!
will do, just posted the first repair video
I like how you keep things simple. Make us some more videos.
You got it! just uploaded the repair video
That strap catching the fender probably slowed the tipover considerably, actually worked out.
thats true, i can afford to replace the strap haha
Geez by the tip back over, you can see how insanely topheavy that is, its like everything was mounted to the roof
Gotta love a place that doesn't help and then locks you in. I love your videos, hope to see more.
one man army! thanks
Yes it is unfortunate but it would have been much easier for him to bring help than for them to supply it...
Please show repairs. It’s so interesting. Also show final product. Thank you 😊
Will do!
I am so glad that you are not dead Indy!
Great recovery on your mishap.
thanks!

yeah light weight is good as long as all the weight loss isn't at the bottom haha, im sure all the missing appliance didn't help
It might help to use two 4x4s the same length
yes and much longer
Saw that coming a mile away with 2 different length skids....ouch. I'm surprised how minimal the damage appears though!
I thought the same but it was already up on the trailer bed when it fell off, the camera was "turned off" at a very convenient time right as it fell over, my guess is that he accidentally tipped it over with the trolley jack that he had under the front end and he edited that bit out of the video.
Damn it man..... When that camper tipped over I wanted to F*ckin cry.......lol
yeah me too haha
bummer but you saved it! Yes please follow up with it's repairs
Yes we would love to see all of it
Just curious how that’s works?
So the yard or the auction house let you load on your own purchase? Do they offer for a fee fork lift, yard pay loader, sky lift?
this yard never has help on these "heavy loads" just cars and trucks
Bro. That'll buff right out. Nice buy.
I think so too hahah!
Cover it with a sticker, Mr Haney at his finest LOL... Show the repairs too plz, good content.
Oh man, what a bummer with the tip-over. That's a real big job, loading and re-loading with one person.
I would like to see it finished and working.
posted a fallow up video

Great rescue job on it men..perhaps some friend help you at the moment would be better results, all the best and nice camper for sure.
Thought the water heater was to be drained, then bypassed when winterizing.
These on demand units don't have a tank and need to be winterized like the rest of the system
Hey...🤔 Maybe you should CREATE A "JIG" of sorts (like with some 4x4s for strength AND MAINLY STABILITY, maybe the height of that lil bottom section that fits in between fenderwells on truck bed, that u can slide into place horizontally and lock down like with a steel pin or something, once u establish the Width of camper, that way it will give you a helping hand keeping it from going sideways on you...💁♀️🤔 just a thought..since u seem like a "McGyver kinda guy!" 😃👍🏽 Good luck and PLEASE STAY SAFE so we can continue watching ur videos. Very informative 👏
I'm wondering if your tanks were still full of water? That's why it was so heavy on that side
maybe i know the roof is heavy with the ac up there
I just bought 2010 Silverodo LS 4.8L Love it!!
Almost a blessing the other stuff was missing (microwave, house battery etc.), those 40lb jacks could have done a lot more damage had those items been in the unit. You got lucky.
Yeah, that’s one way to look at it… 😅
be glad the fridge was not in it or it wld have really damaged the port side of the unit. Those fridges are barely fastened in the hole.
true they always come out on rollovers
Watched to see how it happened but of course it was cut out. Once it was up all you needed was a sheet of plywood under it. Why still using the jack in the front?
Keep up the great work!
Thanks, will do!
Have you considered putting broom sticks or dowels underneath the camper so they roll as you drag it instead of fence posts?
Wow. You get what you deserve for that dumb idea.
when it's on its side is a good time to work on the roof! :-0
It looks like your at Copart?
I'm surprise someone from Copart wasn't with you when you were loading out
I'm happy you didn't get hurt and the camper didn't suffer much damage
me too
My heart was in my throat as the camper came back down on to the trailer, praise the Lord it did not bounce off the other side. Biggest rush I have had watching a youtube vid in many a year, thankyou brother.
I think the strap catching the fender on the other side slowed it down
agree, failure is the greatest educator ...and motivator
You did that, “it” didn’t do a damn thing 😅
Thank God you didn't get crushed .. 🙏 WOW.
yeah thats how i felt
Putting a 3/4 inch thick, 4'x8' foot sheet of plywood on your 4"x4" posts would give you much more stability while pulling it up.
How do you find these locations that sell trailers or campers ?
just look online for insurance salvage auctions. not for the faint of heart though, do your research !
You sure are Lucky! You may need to stop and buy you a lottery ticket! My Goodness, this also says a lot about Palomino campers! Well this one anyway!
