Tom,
Thanks for posting the pictures, we have known Rudy and Evelyn for
several years, as they are members of the El Camino Real Unit. We are
so glad that they are OK, even though their trailer is probably totaled.

>Rudy was on his way home to California when he had a flat and the trailer
>started to sway with tow vehicle and trailer leaving the road near Columbus,
>Texas. The trailer came loose from the tow vehicle and rolled. It is a total
>write-off. Fortunately, the truck stayed up, and neither Rudy nor his wife
>were injured. They had been on a several month trip around the country,
>including the International rally at Perry, Ga., where the trailer placed
>third in judging.

>The trailer is currently in an impound yard near Columbus, pending settlement
>with the insurance company. After that, possibly some items might be
>available from the trailer. The fridge is fairly new, although the door has
>come loose. I don't know if it is repairable or not. The sofa bed, a/c and
>water heater are fairly new. The door, stove, and most windows are intact.
