Are you sure this wasn't a Sundowner trailer? A Sundowner is the only trailer made that could stop a loaded 18 wheeler moving at 45 mph and not be damaged. All other brands would be totally demolished. I just wanted to beat 3 year old and bushy to the punch.

The doors on that trailer are better than a kevlar bullet proof vest. The paint wasn't even scratched. I'll bet that truck was really messed up. Think I'd better get a pair for my trailer.

Okay all, let's cut poor Holly some slack. I've examined the photos she submitted and, in my non-professional opinion, have concluded that it is entirely feasible that she could have been rear ended as she claims. Of course, the "semi" would have had to have been a low rider Nerf truck (or possibly a plastic Tonka). I think the semi driver was probably Bob the Builder who was actually hauling 45 Leggos. Oh, in case anyone is interested, I have a bridge I've been trying to sell.......

I didn't think of it from that angle, having an 8 year old boy I've seen Bob in some good crashes.

Hey Vaquero, are you referring to me? just curious as I own two 4 stars and a Bloomer, no Sundowners. Even though I think 4 Starsare built well, but come on 45mph with pretty much no damage. There are some missing facts for sure. Maybe the truck was going 45mph BEFORE it hit it's brakes causing it to almost come to a complete stop immediately before rolling into the back of the trailer in the original post. I did not fall off the watermelon truck, I climbed in to sip the watermelon flavored shine!
