As an offroader and as an RVer who has had to be recovered (rv with car hauler trailer) because of own lapse in judgement... I know fully well just how much this weighs on everybody. I had a LOT of time to wait and think about it while freezing as temperatures were dropping over 16 hours and late at night to the starry sky... I had someone who came to help and got me out. What you guys have done here is insane. Nobody got hurt. Nobody went over the edge. It was all hands on deck operation, even kids helped out.

19:37 back up that homles wrecker boom & use it to get a upward lift reducing resistance. Best way is a cradle each corner rear corner with a snatchblock on the boom side so it acts like a auto leveler. Then use the wrenches from the others to pull it to you.

[@danielkearns3600]

My question is always what would this recovery cost because it looks super expensive with all the men and equipment and the difficulty

[@B.O.R.R.]

We don’t charge very much because we like helping people out and realize that when they’re in a bad situation, money is usually tight. We ended up charging $800 for this recovery. If it was to an insurance company we would have got paid more but unfortunately, the insurance company would not cover it.

[@TheHairyNord]

​@@B.O.R.R. If I was the trailer owner, I'd have asked the insurance company if they'd just rather mark it as totalled and leave it out there since they won't help get it back 😅

[@B.O.R.R.]

Yeah. Insurance companies don’t usually help. But sometimes they do

[@marilynbowe650]

Now I know how important it is to know how your trailer is structured. Better have a really good frame and hook up points.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Absolutely. That is always the best plan for any piece of equipment.

Gotta ask, why would you take a trailer that big and heavy out onto a narrow twisty track like that? Good effort by you guys though, you earned that midnight snack.

[@B.O.R.R.]

The road is paved with good intentions.

[@CS-uc2oh]

Because some of us can drive. That's a HUGE road! I live on the road-full time... man, you have no idea. That person can't drive. They should have been able to easily get down that road and make the turn.

[@B.O.R.R.]

It’s always different on video than real life. And hindsight is always 2020.

[@Lugjuryoffroad]

@@CS-uc2oh I've been on that road, there definitely isn't enough room to swing wide enough. looks much wider in the video than it really is.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Yep!

Great job

[@B.O.R.R.]

Thanks!

[@CS-uc2oh]

Looking at this again, yeah, I'm sorry but there's no reason why that trailer shouldn't have made that turn with no issues. It actually did make the turn but they cut too close to the left side for some crazy reason. There is a TON of space on the right side of the road for that to have never happened. I could do that road and that turn in my sleep with a SEMI.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Things are always different in real life than you can see on a video. It’s a very tight turn and shaped like an acute angle instead or a U.

[@Lugjuryoffroad]

There is only a wide spot right on the tip of the corner and it's not very long, it's really tight right before and right after. He had swung as wide as he could and driven up on the bank as far as he could and still didn't make it. Someone with more experience might have made it, but that's debatable.

[@B.O.R.R.]

@@Lugjuryoffroad It was tighter than it looked in the video.

[@Joe-fj9kw5bg1v]

My Keystone says not to jack up on the axel they will get bent, at least that is what keystone says.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Yes. That’s true depending on where on the axle. We jack up on the spring purch (mount) where the weight already is so it doesn’t put anymore pressure on it.

[@fredyounger5850]

I DONT KNOW HOW LONG THIS TRAVEL TRAILER IS BUT IT LOOKS TO BE 36 FOOT I STILL THINK IF YOU WERE TO PUT A WENCH LINE ON THE TRUCK THATS PULLING IT AND ONE ON THE TRAILER TO KEEP IT FROM SLIDING DOWN THE HILL AND DRIVE IT OUT FORWARD WITH THE WENCH LINE ON THE FRONT OF THE TRUCK TO HELP IT COME OUT FORWARD

[@B.O.R.R.]

@@fredyounger5850 it was too far over the side before we got there to be able to pull it back up by pulling forward. The only way to get it back up without it rolling and pulling the truck down with it was straight up back onto the road and then forward.

[@kc6nfv746]

Surprise the top of the trailer not get smashed down from the pull

[@B.O.R.R.]

Toyhauler trailers have a lot more framing in the rear for the ramp, that's why we pulled it the way we did.

[@auhunter04]

MMMM easy to be armchair QB, There is a tree right at the left rear corner, If possible I would put a snatch block on that tree to lift the corner/back. Again I cannot see what you are working with--- If you could put a cable high on both sides fixed solid with two linked snatch blocks, one on the fixed cable and one on a free cable. run free cable down to trailer and attach from both corners for lift Hold fixed line cable in place at the moment lift trailer (I Don't need to carefully),,,, clear all the people out--- lift trailer above the road cable then pull trailer sideways onto road. Everybody got different ways, in this kind of country I always try to look up. Most of us look down, ya me too. I couldn't tell, on down hill edge where cable is put two longish 2x4s (or wider) oh side and roof to run cable over to prevent damage. You see something like this on trucks hauling lumber Ya'll need Matts big wrecker for this, Ya gotta work with what ya got Done good

[@cherylbeavers6475]

I'm just wondering about the space where this is happening on that road. I see the area to the right where they could have made The Road Wider. Why did somebody fix it? The road is leaning towards the cliff and needs to lean towards the hill, which is why no one will slide off again

[@B.O.R.R.]

These are old mining roads and are not maintained. Any ''work'' done on them would just be volunteer work, and there are thousands of these roads. It's more important to know the roads before taking a large or long vehicle on them. Regular vehicles have no problem on them in normal conditions.

[@lornaherlache1950]

How’d he bring the trailer back out to the highway? Just curious!

[@B.O.R.R.]

There was a different road We connected to at the top that took them back down to the highway.

[@charlesglandon7840]

Why take such a large trailer up a road like that??????

[@B.O.R.R.]

The road was nice and wide lower down, probably didn't know it got tight higher up until it was too late to turn around.

[@CS-uc2oh]

That's not the right question. Why do it if you can't drive? There's no reason why they shouldn't have been able to make the turn. They actually did make the turn and then messed up (I don't even know how)! That's an easy road and turn for even that size trailer.

[@B.O.R.R.]

Everyone has a bad day

[@marilynbowe650]

Maybe I’m wrong, but why take such a big rig into a rough mountain road? They are really designed for highways aren’t they? Glad it worked out for you.

It was unprofessional to leave in the conversation about not knowing why anyone would try to tow that trailer there. If people weren't doing dumb things, you'd probably be out of business. What difference does it make to you?! I'll never understand businesses that complain about the behaviors that sustain their business. On a side note, whoever was driving is a terrible driver because there's no reason why they shouldn't have been able to get that trailer safely down that road....
