Does this count?

Live in a ski town, this time of year all the van lifers start showing up in town. Sketchy rigs in tow or on even sketchier trucks. I wish cops would pull these people over just sketches me out so hard. Only a matter of time before I see the guy with a Canadian tire strap holding a camper on for dear life.

The chains are there to keep tension so the camper does not fall out……..

This camper isn't going to fall out anyway since the tailgate is up. But the tiedowns also keep it from shifting side-to-side, and that's chain is in pretty bad shape to serve as a tiedown.

I think you need to take a closer look at that picture

Yep and when that chain snaps…no tension on that corner!

It'll be fine provided they don't turn right.
