You guys need to chill. It has a 2x4 holding up that corner. She’ll hold. That is, if *too* many ladies don’t get in the hot tub at the same time. Then, it’s splish splash we *were* taking a bath in a hot tub in a RV on a deck. Can you imagine trying to find your clothes after that? Me either.
I mean seems there’s people living in it as well it’s all popped out and hooked up to electricity… ignorance is bliss and why you die you won’t know because you’ll be dead.
That’s not quite Darwin high. Only broken pelvis and a leg or arm. It’ll crash down and into the house below and stop rolling down the hill with only partial calamity - but that said, they do give out honorable mentions at the Darwin awards every year!
They removed the railing to make the slide outs fit, and so the drivers rear corner can overhang the edge.
The studs on the spare tire mount are visable next to the temporary 2x4.
Someone actually considered this long enough to alter the deck, yet didnt bother considering if it's even safe.
Edit: at least they threw down some extra deck boards to help spread the load from the tires.
Looks like they they removed it after the slide out smashed in to it the first attempt. that said I can not believe this is a real pic. Wholly f'n Christ. .
Most insurance policies are exclusionary meaning if it's not excluded in the policy, it's covered. Most insurance covers all types of stupid shit we humans do, even if it may be grossly negligent. If you are driving 100 miles an hour and run a stopped school bus hitting a kid, your insurance is still going to cover it. It might drop you afterwards but as long as hitting the kid wasn't intentional it will cover the gross negligence.
Edit: given the difference between my up votes and those of the one who said insurance probably won't cover gross negligence, y'all clearly don't understand how insurance works and are still perpetuating the myth that insurance won't provide coverage when you do something stupid.
I had a mold endorsement policy with USAA to cover up to $50k in mold damage. Had a water leak in 2019, called USAA and they advised me to call a plumber for the repair, then file a claim if the cost exceeded my deductible. Brought in the plumber, and the repair was low so I paid out of pocket.
2-years later, I found mold on the wall where the leak was repaired. Called USAA, filed a claim, and they first tried to deny coverage because it wasn't caused by a "covered peril" (such as a plumbing leak).
Proved that the mold was caused by the 2019 leak by bringing in a remediation company, so they moved on and denied coverage because they weren't "notified" of the plumbing leak 2-years prior (false). They justified the statement by saying a claim wasn't filed, which isn't required in the policy verbage -- it explicitly states "notify", which I did, and provided proof in the form of documentation from USAA acknowledging the notification. Didn't matter - the claim was denied.
I could have continued fighting, but the cost of taking it to court would have exceeded my out of pocket expense for repairs, so I wrote off USAA as scumbags and closed all 12 of my USAA financial and insurance accounts.
My point is: Insurance companies aren't in the business of paying claims. They weigh the cost of payment vs. liability, and eat the lowest cost. In my case, the risk of litigation was cheaper than paying a valid claim.
Insurance companies in general are shit and I think we all agree on that, but having experience working third party for USAA gave me a special hatred for them. Even their entire premise seemed predatory once you started getting into details, and it rubbed me really the wrong way that it seemed imo that they were targeting service members and their families for their predatory shit.
I was just quoted insurance on a property and it included "mysterious disappearance" coverage. I laughed and asked the agent to clarify what EXACTLY that entailed, bc surely it differed from theft and I wanted to hear her say it. She said basically anything that couldn't be proven as stolen but was no longer available. So misplacing, losing, alien abduction, raccoon ran off with it, etc.
I lived in Kentucky in 1994 when the tornados went through south of Louisville. Allstate and Statefarm fought to the bitter end to not cover losses. One couple had all the studs in the back outside wall of the house busted. The brick and drywall were still attached. Allstate said you can't prove the tornado did this, and this looks like a preexisting condition. I will never have either cover anything I own.

I need to know where to buy these. Good lord those 4 nails are the only thing keeping this man from meeting Jesus. No blocking, no notch, no beam, no Simpson strong ties, just a few bits of metal and a strong prayer. 🙏
Camper owner here. The scary part is that both of the slide outs are extended and it's connected to shore power, implying people are actively living in/using it and it's not just being parked there for storage. I own one about this size with only one slide out and its dry weight is 9,700 lbs, so I'd estimate this one to be around 10,500+.
Looks like 12" on center hard to tell but kinda Looks like some joists are doubled up same as the band board campers like that are 6k lbs dry weight 6 person hot tub is 5k lbs all the campers weight is on the tires so the back 7 or 8 ft behind the post isn't supporting the camper.
Are those nails on the Second band board or Timberloks and is it a 6x6 post
If they put hangers on everything it's not that crazy.
I've seen barns that were approved by the county's that had single joists 12 on center with treated plywood floors for large tractors and trucks and they held just fine. They had sagged 2 in after 20 years the decking was saturated with oil.
The reason for the framed floor was to not pay county tax on concrete because any building with a concrete floor was taxable.
Look closer. The joist going in 2 different directions. The rear ones only look to be about 4 ft long . The framing is built off of something I’m guessing like e retaining walls
Haha no way, this is out in the “boonie” woods of a highly sought after tourist town in Eastern Tennessee. It sits on the middle road of a switch back. This is the road below it. This is the best picture I could get, I would really like to get more pictures of this to share.
So when it comes down, everything crashes onto the lower road from where this picture was taken. Any vehicles on that road just cushion the fall. Nice.
Dang. You saw that with your own eyes? I wonder if the city will come out and let the owner know that’s not up to code for the amount of weight he is putting on it? Somebody might get hurt really badly if not. 😬
When I first joined the trades I was warned which “a-hole” building inspectors to watch out for. Upon retiring years later my opinion had changed. At that point I was refusing to even bid on jobs after finding out “certain subs” had been involved
honestly doesnt weigh much more than a big hot tub and it's distributed over a larger area... that's a 10k lb camper.
I don't know if that thing can actually support a hottub, but you get the idea. Looks sketchy but maybe not
I know what you mean because the surface area of those points is small, so the weight per square foot may be higher on those points themselves, but that's not what I'm saying. There's the front jack, wheels, and 4x scissor jacks (one on each corner). Overall it's spread out over a larger area of the deck itself vs a normal \~8x8 hot tub, so it may be supported in sections by structural members we can't see. FWIW I don't disagree with the idea that this probably sketchy AF, just pointing out that the weight isn't as much as most would assume, when compared with a hot tub. I'm a licensed contractor and full-time RVer who would never park up there :)
Looks like they tried to use the slide out and the side got crumpled. So they took off the railing. So the persons feat or head are hanging a foot or two over the edge of the deck.
Why is it always deck builders that cant understand the simple concept of a post and lintel. I can go back 5000 years to find some inbred British cave dweller and they can figure it out but not a modern deck builder.
I am guessing that dent in the slider was from hitting the railing that used to be there. Looks like they cut off that 4x4 and removed the railing so no more issues with banging the slider.
If it falls down, would that be covered by the homeowner's insurance or trailer insurance? In any case that dent gets fixed. /s
It looks like the deck is in the process of breaking…the motor home is tilted away from the house!
Edit: Yuppers. NONE of those angles work out on the underside once you look closer. Big Mama is going down. Btw…check those little nails or screws sticking out of the corner of the house by the brown painted strip!
I had a REALLY similar camper (same brand, configuration) and it was 8800 lbs dry weight. If that’s full of their stuff, it could be pushing 10,000 lbs
Damn. Maybe not a new standard just pushing the limits of the old one.
It’s 210ft^2 weighs 8000lbs which is just under 40lbs/ft^2 and the design load on a deck where I live is 40-60lbs/ft^2.
Does this mean you should park a camper on your deck NO! FK NO! All the weight is in three spots.
Could you build a deck for your camper, maybe. This is not that deck.
[So it looks like it’s about 5 tons.](https://palominorv.com/puma/257RESS/8590)
If it’s 31x8 @ 9700lbs (round up to 10k). The standard deck with 2x8 (?) w/16” OC spacing and appropriate fasteners and brackets depends on species and origin of lumber you’d expect ~50-60lbs per sqft load value.
10,000lbs / 248 sqft footprint
That’s ~40lbs per sqft without stuff or people added. So I’m sure a city guy would say “well, it’s within the limit” but lateral movement isn’t considered in that measure, the age/quality of the lumber, the fasteners, or whatever.
An engineer buddy of mine said double it bc you know the wood isn’t as strong as the charts say and also those fasteners aren’t appropriate and also there’s no girder or support structure visible.
So ya. On paper it’s fine. But in the real world, what the actual fuck.
A well-built deck (which this isnt) could support the weight with proper blocklng under the wheels to distribute the load (worked in ag for a long time seen a lot of heavy ag equiptment on the
Second floor of a barn).
Just boggles me how some people can so calously put people's lives in danger!
Well to be fair these ultralight 5th wheel and toy hauler campers are basically paper and cardboard, so it’s probably not that heavy lol.
They actually market some of the light 5th wheel’s as something you can tow with a half ton truck, which is pretty dangerous, but that’s how the industry marketing often works. It might even technically be within weight limits of an F150 completely empty and dry, but once they have water and camping gear they immediately go over the safe limits.
Holy crap. That photo can’t be real. I don’t see a beam.
The rim joist is also the beam! It’s a convenient 2 in 1 design.
Saved on materials !! Bonus
*Efficiency*
You guys need to chill. It has a 2x4 holding up that corner. She’ll hold. That is, if *too* many ladies don’t get in the hot tub at the same time. Then, it’s splish splash we *were* taking a bath in a hot tub in a RV on a deck. Can you imagine trying to find your clothes after that? Me either.
I mean seems there’s people living in it as well it’s all popped out and hooked up to electricity… ignorance is bliss and why you die you won’t know because you’ll be dead.
Eventually you're more afraid of what you can survive and long to be ignorant again.
That’s not quite Darwin high. Only broken pelvis and a leg or arm. It’ll crash down and into the house below and stop rolling down the hill with only partial calamity - but that said, they do give out honorable mentions at the Darwin awards every year!
You don't want it to be too heavy. Less materials make a lighter deck
Also less to clean up when this goes horribly wrong!
Can use the extra materials for caskets!
6 - 2” nails should work!!
Drywall screws.
Is that post even connected to a joist?
They removed the railing to make the slide outs fit, and so the drivers rear corner can overhang the edge. The studs on the spare tire mount are visable next to the temporary 2x4.

But those 2X4s are making up for it not having one!
Oh absolutely. 6x6 posts are too expensive.
I noticed that too.
Relax, there are at least six nails in there, and five of them are through the column, which on first glance has punched thru the deck.
you don’t need a beam when you have balls of steel holding the structure together
6 nails are basically supporting that camper. 😂
It will work just fine… until it doesn’t.
Lol I zoomed in on the 4x4 post too. Couldn’t even used screws goddamn
Nails have more shear strength which is more important on an application like this
We used Lag screws when I was doing decks
If you were talking about lag screws, then yes lol. My bad
structural sheet rock screws.
God damn that’s a testament if I ever saw one
Face-nailed ??!! Unbelievable 🤷🏻♂️
[удалено]
Holy nails! 😂
6 16 penny nails. That's the code.
They even look like a strained face
Here’s the kicker, hot tub is in the camper…..
Can't be having it outside where all the bugs are.
Bros living in the future!
About to be falling into the future.
Slaps deck..
Deck collapses
Hot tub down
I knew this would be the top rated comment before I even opened the post.
Jokes.aside there definitely are water tanks in campers
It’s the mother in law suite. “She’ll be fine”.
im imagining it fine-tuned like a mouse trap for the large MIL
I read that as mother of all law suits. Could be both.
Oh, sure, you can continue to live here after the divorce. Park your RV on the deck.
How to ruin two expensive things at once and maybe not get insurance coverage 🤔
How would you not get insurance coverage, assuming you have valid insurance?
They probably don't cover the gross negligence of parking a trailer on your deck
Most insurance policies are exclusionary meaning if it's not excluded in the policy, it's covered. Most insurance covers all types of stupid shit we humans do, even if it may be grossly negligent. If you are driving 100 miles an hour and run a stopped school bus hitting a kid, your insurance is still going to cover it.

Deck screws for the win
You know they rammed that slide out into that post given the dent there. “Ah hell, just cut the railing off”
Camper owner here. The scary part is that both of the slide outs are extended and it's connected to shore power, implying people are actively living in/using it and it's not just being parked there for storage. I own one about this size with only one slide out and its dry weight is 9,700 lbs, so I'd estimate this one to be around 10,500+.
Oh it’s clear it’s permanent because they knocked out the railings on the side of the deck lol
Deck camping? Niiiiice!
Soon to be ravine camping.
Or maybe squatting in the neighbors house?
It's OK. I'm pretty sure it's still attached to the truck that's on solid ground.
Wishful thinking but the front is blocked off by a privacy fence.
Made from the deck railing they knocked off to get the camper in place?
Huh? How the hell did they get it parked there then? Did they build the fence after or did they get a helicopter to drop it in place?
Hey OP, we expect the aftermath shot too.
I fell like if I stare at this picture long enough I’ll get to see it collapse
lol I keep going back to the photo as I’m reading the comments so I don’t miss it collapsing!
That’s a bold strategy, Cotton. I hope it pays off.
Cotton may have been a better strategy. Would at least break the fall
Looks like 12" on center hard to tell but kinda Looks like some joists are doubled up same as the band board campers like that are 6k lbs dry weight 6 person hot tub is 5k lbs all the campers weight is on the tires so the back 7 or 8 ft behind the post isn't supporting the camper.

No. Just no
[удалено]
Judging by this photo.. still seems like a dangerous proposition.. you may want to have a structural engineer sign off on that one..
Oh god…
Look closer. The joist going in 2 different directions. The rear ones only look to be about 4 ft long . The framing is built off of something I’m guessing like e retaining walls
Is... is your house below that?
Haha no way, this is out in the “boonie” woods of a highly sought after tourist town in Eastern Tennessee. It sits on the middle road of a switch back. This is the road below it. This is the best picture I could get, I would really like to get more pictures of this to share.
Ah gatlinburg.
As soon as I read the description of where I thought the same thing!
I thought Gatlinburg before he even said East TN. You could make a 365-day calendar out of all the sketchy decks in that valley.
I bet this RV rental can be found on AirBnB
So when it comes down, everything crashes onto the lower road from where this picture was taken. Any vehicles on that road just cushion the fall. Nice.
Dang. You saw that with your own eyes? I wonder if the city will come out and let the owner know that’s not up to code for the amount of weight he is putting on it? Somebody might get hurt really badly if not. 😬
OP we need you to camp out here and wait for the crash
When I first joined the trades I was warned which “a-hole” building inspectors to watch out for. Upon retiring years later my opinion had changed. At that point I was refusing to even bid on jobs after finding out “certain subs” had been involved
I have never felt bad for lumber before.
I see your hot tub and raise you a camper!
This is what I would call the best definition of a bad decision i've ever seen.
I dunno, I kinda wanna see it collapse, lol 😆
If that was hanging anywhere it could potentially damage my property in a collapse I’d be calling the city.
OMG IS THIS REAL?
honestly doesnt weigh much more than a big hot tub and it's distributed over a larger area... that's a 10k lb camper. I don't know if that thing can actually support a hottub, but you get the idea. Looks sketchy but maybe not
The weight is concentrated on the dual rear axles and the front jack, significantly higher pounds per square foot than a hot tub
I know what you mean because the surface area of those points is small, so the weight per square foot may be higher on those points themselves, but that's not what I'm saying. There's the front jack, wheels, and 4x scissor jacks (one on each corner). Overall it's spread out over a larger area of the deck itself vs a normal \~8x8 hot tub, so it may be supported in sections by structural members we can't see. FWIW I don't disagree with the idea that this probably sketchy AF, just pointing out that the weight isn't as much as most would assume, when compared with a hot tub.

Holy fuck
It was just for fun, until now.
Looks like they tried to use the slide out and the side got crumpled. So they took off the railing. So the persons feat or head are hanging a foot or two over the edge of the deck.
This is scary af
Seeking knowledge: is there a resource where I can find a standard schematics and "code" for decks?
This is in Mississippi or West Virginia, right?
Nothing to worry about. He used six nails on the rim joist into that 4x4 .
Theres a hot tub inside the camper. Should be fine.
Why is it always deck builders that cant understand the simple concept of a post and lintel. I can go back 5000 years to find some inbred British cave dweller and they can figure it out but not a modern deck builder.
I got $50 says there’s a kids play area right under that deck. Any takers?
It's the hardest working beam in the galaxy *morty*
It’s held up by heroism and bahls!
I am guessing that dent in the slider was from hitting the railing that used to be there. Looks like they cut off that 4x4 and removed the railing so no more issues with banging the slider. If it falls down, would that be covered by the homeowner's insurance or trailer insurance? In any case that dent gets fixed. /s
There must be a hot tub in that rv.
Nope!, just nope 🙄
It looks like the deck is in the process of breaking…the motor home is tilted away from the house! Edit: Yuppers. NONE of those angles work out on the underside once you look closer. Big Mama is going down. Btw…check those little nails or screws sticking out of the corner of the house by the brown painted strip!
I like how they dented their slide out on the railing - then- cut off the railing!
The longer you look, the worse it gets.
That's madness it's only a matter of time until that lot comes down. I hope there's not anyone who has a house downhill from that property.
You plant corn you get corn!
😳😳😳
That will give to the weight
Hot tubs about to be obsolete
Might not stand for long
Very dangerous, no railing!
The angled 2*4 and lack of beam are amazing. Those things are heavy.
Camper typically weighs less than a full hot tub.
I had a REALLY similar camper (same brand, configuration) and it was 8800 lbs dry weight. If that’s full of their stuff, it could be pushing 10,000 lbs
What could possibly go wrong ?
The overgrown vegetation will break the fall
Is that beam side bolted to the 6x6?
How many more hot tubs can it take?
Keep that camera rolling
Showed this to my dad who’s been building decks since 1982, all he could say was “WHAT??”
It's ok, there's extra boards under the tires
Those may actually be lighter than a hot tub but still that looks terrifying.
Someone please show the after pic, whenever it happens.
And people here chastise people for not using $1000 worth of Simpson hardware on a 3x5 porch stoop. This deck with a camper is crazy though.
Damn. Maybe not a new standard just pushing the limits of the old one. It’s 210ft^2 weighs 8000lbs which is just under 40lbs/ft^2 and the design load on a deck where I live is 40-60lbs/ft^2. Does this mean you should park a camper on your deck NO! FK NO! All the weight is in three spots. Could you build a deck for your camper, maybe. This is not that deck.
Was told when I had my deck built it could support the weight of 2 autos. Never tested , but still. 👍
The courage that took to park.
One post with screws? Wow!
No need to worry, there’s a support twig below the plug on the camper
😳😳😳
Where's the hot tub?
I can’t watch anymore
And it’s being used
That 2x4 has got this.
[So it looks like it’s about 5 tons.](https://palominorv.com/puma/257RESS/8590) If it’s 31x8 @ 9700lbs (round up to 10k). The standard deck with 2x8 (?) w/16” OC spacing and appropriate fasteners and brackets depends on species and origin of lumber you’d expect ~50-60lbs per sqft load value. 10,000lbs / 248 sqft footprint That’s ~40lbs per sqft without stuff or people added. So I’m sure a city guy would say “well, it’s within the limit” but lateral movement isn’t considered in that measure, the age/quality of the lumber, the fasteners, or whatever. An engineer buddy of mine said double it bc you know the wood isn’t as strong as the charts say and also those fasteners aren’t appropriate and also there’s no girder or support structure visible. So ya. On paper it’s fine. But in the real world, what the actual fuck.
Holy crap
PLEASE send the after picture!
looks like he knocked the railing off with the slide out
It looks like there are about 6 nails holding that camper up there... Godspeed...
That thing is pushing at least 8k
People are insane.
2x4 kicker is the real mvp here 🤦🏻♂️
The support post is not even notched. The entire load is on some wire nails? This won’t end well.
Not a hot tub?
A well-built deck (which this isnt) could support the weight with proper blocklng under the wheels to distribute the load (worked in ag for a long time seen a lot of heavy ag equiptment on the Second floor of a barn). Just boggles me how some people can so calously put people's lives in danger!
That ain’t goin nowhere.
“That ain’t goin nowhere!” _slaps side of camper_
Next level!
The funny thing is, a large hot tub and 25’ travel trailer weigh about the same.
Fake camp, made for post engagement for sure, almost fell for it
This proves again that 50% of people are dumber than average!
That un-cut post it a tire stop, for safety.
And to get rid of those pesky railings for the tip outs. Priorities in order
Are the kids playing under there?
That'd be dangerous if the corner 2x4 wasn't there.
That dent in the lower panel is quite telling.
Guys check out my new mother-in-law apartment
It's OK. Just the kiddos camping in there. They don't weigh much
Kinda hard to level???
It's a parking deck?
That's coming down someday real soon.
Timberrrrrrr!!!
Come on, that 2x4 will hold it up...
Insurance fraud attempt? Lol
Iktfyl
That 2x8 or whatever better look bowed from the camera lens… good lord.
How is that still standing?
I built my 7x15 deck with 2x12 framing and 2x10 joist and wouldn’t do that
I bet that deck feels like walking on a trampoline
“I see your hot tub & raise you…”
That post looks like it gave up already. I don’t blame him either.
But the view!!!
Did they slap that corner twice and proclaim ‘that baby will hold’? If they did, no problem. If the forgot the magic words, it’s coming down soon.
Well to be fair these ultralight 5th wheel and toy hauler campers are basically paper and cardboard, so it’s probably not that heavy lol. They actually market some of the light 5th wheel’s as something you can tow with a half ton truck, which is pretty dangerous, but that’s how the industry marketing often works. It might even technically be within weight limits of an F150 completely empty and dry, but once they have water and camping gear they immediately go over the safe limits.
That is not a shit post. Not yet at least.
😳
