I'm going through major camper withdrawals waiting for my camper to be completed. I found this video clip on youtube. Pretty cool shot. Awesome attitudes from the couple but sketchy situation. Made me wish I still had my tacoma:

Dropped the rear passenger side tire off the road bed didn't take the front end far enough up to the embankment. Good thing he turned into it and kept it moving vs trying to stop or for sure he'd dump it on its side.

Operator error.  CALIcamperdad nailed it, but I suggest he dropped his right rear BECAUSE he failed to use the room he had for the left front.  He had at least a foot and a half, maybe 2+ more room to go deeper into the turn and if it's used the space, likely his right rear would have stayed on piste.

 

Maybe a bit more spotting and a bit less filming would have been a better idea. Glad it worked out. That was almost a huge problem.
