Looks like another Navara has fallen victim to slight chassis re-alignment.

The stance of this - camper pointing skyward, is very much like the one I saw on the A34 nr Bicester a few months ago.

It could be Zildjian as this was about the same as the one I saw. Scary isn't it?

Jury's out on this one,
snapped chassis rail(s)
bent chassis at very back
front tie downs missing/broken/not fitted (so camper lifted by wind)
none of the above are ideal really
so what about this avatar then Viv?

Actually if you look at that reflected white line down the side, you can see its not the same on both cab/Tub in fact it looks as though its tilted back a good bit after all

Definitely something wrong, but that load bed doesn't look right looking at the reflection as mentioned

I imagine it is chassis as per usual. If the load bed was pulling away from the chassis I would expect it to have failed catastrophically already - i.e. if the mountings started to fatigue they would have failed completely before achieving this level of deflection.

Either that he is starting to deploy the camper into launch position
