I am thrilled that the entire camper didn't go up in flames. Monday morning coming home from work I either had a mini stroke of some kind of seizure. I drove about 15 miles and woke up with my camper laying on its side next to my truck and the front wheels of my truck in the creek. Here's where my camper was laying. And here's where my truck was. I don't remember any of it. Back in Jan during routine scans my brain MRI showed some new cancer, they think swelling from the cancer may have been what caused my problem. I have appointments with my radiation oncologist and my neurologist on Tuesday to discuses the plan. I am very grateful that I not seriously injured. Grateful that I went off the road where I did. Grateful to still be here. I doubt that I will replace the truck or the camper. I might start looking for an "vintage" TT to tow behind my 1976 F-250.

Glad you escaped with your life. Looks like a major fire started in the camper, I'm surprised it didn't fully burn. Were there quick responders/motorists on the scene that put the fire out?
