Let that be a warning to those motor home drivers that tow their runabout behind them not to brake suddenly Whistle

That caravan must have reversed into the truck at some speed! Very Happy

I hope the truck driver put the kettle on and got the biscuits out of the cupboard, he should have been able or reach from where he was sat. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

Looks to me as if the caravan was stationary and parked up - as the pop up top is popped up - unless the impact caused it to pop up? Our blog - http://landytravels.com/

Pam, looks like it popped up in the impact...

'A witness told The Courier-Mail the ute slammed into the back of the caravan that had pulled up at a set of temporary traffic lights set up at a road works'

Maybe that's the first caravan that comes with a garage as well? Whistle Rolling with laughter
