 What what this fellow thinking?  Obviously, he wasn't but you are right -- you have to feel for him.

I’m wondering if it’s even possible to pull that trailer out. How much pulling can the kingpin handle before shearing?

I guess it would do a good job cleaning your tank sensors.

Why does it always seem that the larger the trailer, the more catastrophic the situation? You don't see anybody with a teardrop or pop-up getting into that kind of fix, now do you?

Where did this happen??
Talk about your MAJOR !!
It must have been his first time to the beach, at least I hope it was as anyone who has driven on a beach knows it is dicey enough with just a truck!!
There are times I don't think insurance should cover stupidly, as we all will be paying for this though premiums!

Have ya ever stood on the beach with your feet at the edge of the surf
line ???
Everytime the waves come in the sand becomes liquified. allowing your feet
(trailer's tires), to sink a bit further. Probably will settle out when the
cloroplast hits the sand. Larger flat surface (think 12X12 under jack feet),
will allow it to ssit there till a sky crane;

pulls it out ...

This may be politically incorrect, but it reminds me of a T-shirt I once saw at a Big Dog store that I wanted to buy but don't ever think I could wear. On the back in big letters;

This is an old picture of someone leaving a campground in southern Calf. If I remember correctly and BTW I am over 60 there is a camp ground that you need to cross thru the surf at low tide to get to in So Calf. This guy missed judge the tide coming in and hit a soft spot in the sand thus sinking in some.
Some campers like to boon dock and this is what can happen to them.

LOL!!! I love those shirts! I've got one that believe it or not I have worn to work that says.... CSI (Can't Stand Idiots). I've gotten mixed comments on it, some like it some hate it. But if you knew where I worked and the people I have to deal with you would understand why I wear it from time to time. I had another shirt that my boss told me not to wear anymore because a couple of people found it offensive and it wasn't dirty, it just talked about a subject that I have a pet peeve about.
