Thanks for the personal thoughts! Yes, they and their dogs are o.k. The truck is driveable and they returned home to the mtns of CO minus the brand new 5th wheel. Brand new truck bed now is rather "v" shaped on the side where the 5th wheel rolled over.

I have seen reports, and a few pictures of many RV's blown over. Couple years ago after the Airstream Int'l up in Montana (I think), a couple owners got blown over or off the road on the way home.
As far as the linked podstruction.. it has a license plate.. and I note a dish towel over a drawer pull... but not a whole lot else like sheets, sleeping bags, dishes, etc etc... possibly new owners who got "caught out" as they say. |

Yeah P&M, that was my guess too. I am shopping for a nice portable weather radio though. Just this past camping weekend we had no cell/internet service and was caught off guard a bit with some very cold and windy weather.

Given the lack of personal effects within the Pod destruction itself, I'm gonna guess it happened during factory transport. Poor little Pod.
Mental note ... pull over and wait out any really bad side-wind storms!

Be fore warned. This is not a pretty picture. No people, but lots of podestruction. I know nothing of the circumstances, although I could guess it may have fell off a delivery truck or a tornado or such. Sorta looks like tornado geography. Nevertheless...it can happen.

Just had a friend pulling a 34 ft 5th wheel with a Ford F350 get blown over on I70 just outside of Limon,CO. Which got me to wondering if anyone has had such a catastrophic event happen to an RPod? One doesn't worry about those things until it happens to someone you know!
