Got an RV to pull but don’t have the needed equipment? Improvise! This fellow evidently didn’t have a pickup to pull his fifth wheel. Lacking in equipment, he made up for it with imagination.
We wondered if this might be a candidate for the Darwin Awards. Our thanks to George Bliss for sharing this image. And remember, boys and girls, never try this one at home!
Even if you don’t have a pickup to pull it off, if you’ve seen, witnessed, or had your own “RV boo-boo” moment and have a photo to share with others, let us know. Fill out the form below, and put “boo-boo” on the subject line. Be sure to link your photo with the attachment tool on the form.
RV boo-boos – Really high-centered 5er

This is an accident waiting to happen, also in most states it is illegal. A “triple tow may be allowed but the first trailer must be attached to the tow vehicle with a 5th wheel hitch which this not. The second towed vehicle can be attached using a ball hitch, this is just the opposite.
In NV, we towed two trailers for years. We had a 25′ travel trailer and hooked our two-unit ATV trailer behind it. Never had an issue. Not sure I would do what this guy in the picture is doing though. It just looks funky. There used to be an outfit that made ‘bumper pull’ hitches that you could attach a 5’er to and pull it. It looked well made, but I haven’t seen the ads in a long time.
Can’t fix STUPID, only what STUPID does.
I always admired the VW bug with the fifth wheeler hitch on the roof.
the youtube video of that is awesome… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SpwH9WeVEfU&ab_channel=Volkswear
Would be fun to sit and have a cocktail while watching them backing into a site!
