Somehow my turnbuckles on the front released and my All Terrain Panther flew out of the back of my Tundra at 70 mph and ended up upside down and sliding down the highway.

I am devastated! 

My question is, what do I do with my totaled camper that is now sitting in my driveway? Should I part it out? Are there people who might want to take it and rebuild it?

Junkyard?

Landfill?

AirBnB it?

So sorry to hear about that. Did that happen on 395?  I'd start by posting up some pics. I'm curious to see what the guys at ATC think.

Unfortunately not an April Fools Day joke - although I feel very foolish; in fact, mortified! It was on 395/580 in Reno. I am calling ATC Monday morning to get their opinion.

Well, this has convinced me to add some kind of backup safety chain along with the turnbuckles when I get my camper.

Sorry to hear about your camper.

Always a good idea to check the turnbuckles.

That's a bummer having your camper get blown off like that.

Who knows maybe ATC might be able to help.It might not be the total

you think it is.

I'd heard of something happening on 395. Sorry to hear it was you. I'm hoping Frank is right.

Thanks sharing this mishap.  You have my condolences.  With regards to what to do with the camper now, try selling it as is - for parts or a base for D.I.Y build.
