Hey there Steve, hows it going out that way today?

Moning Jay I am going to call that guy today and see if he even has it available. If it is a really awesome deal I will let you know... I promise .

 

pretty good, just wish it was Friday!

 

Morning everyone. No comments from my you tube clip last night?

 

Yeah Steve I wish it was friday also. But I am actually having a good day so far and the sun is shining!!

Morning Lee, I suppose we didnt want to upset the Dodge fan of the bunch. lol But ok if you insist...leave it to a dodge driver to pull a 13' camper into a 10' opening. Must not be the brightest guy after all he is driving a dodge and look at what he goes and does...doesn't instill alot of faith in them Dodge boys for me. Ok I am done for now. I better be quiet now before you find a Ford driver doing something like that.

On a different note how is your day going so far?

 

Good morning everyone.

I think the seats might have some stains to be cleaned out. If you look at related video it has pictures from the same accident looks like it just scraped the drivers side of the vehicle and they were able to walk away.

 

I love that video. I would hate for that to happen to me but that is just funny.

I'm sure...

 

Nothing a couple of 2X4's and a buffer can't take care of...

YouTube - How Not To Use The Drive Through ATM PHOTOS!

 

I saw some more pictures of that before, just can not find them now. Give all the crap you want to the Dodge guy, but how about the people who engineered and built that drive thru. ( Not saying that the guy is not an idiot) If he didn't hit that the first low bridge would have stopped him.

The other pictures had a write up from the local paper. It said the truck was a month old and the guy had just bought the camper new 2 days earlier. It was in Texas. I will watch if I am in a drive thru bank in Texas if there is a storm coming. If a 5er at 5 mph can take it out, how about 60+ mph winds.

 

You said he had just bought that camper 2 days prior. When I bought my camper they installed the hitch and brought my truck back to me and I proceeded to hook up but never once did the salesman ask me if I ever had pulled a trailer before or one that big. I wasnt concerned because I know how but he didnt know that. You would have thought he would have asked a few basic questions to ensure that I had pulled something like that before. If nothing else they should ask and then show this video to a new customer.

 

I agree, but I have one phrase for you RENTAL RV. I will explain later.

 

Sounds like there is a story there Lee

 

Yeah Lee whats the story?? Dont keep us in suspense like this!

 

Gotta run into anothe meeting. May take a little while to type it up. There is more than one story.

 

We will be patient then.

Still no update on mom. waiting sucks. I am NOT a patient person...

 

Jay, Hope you get good news soon.

Ok, Here we go.

First let me say this is meant as no offense to people who have or will ever rent a motorhome. This is mean to offend the idiots who rent them and can't drive them or don't care about others, probably the same people who can not back thier boats into the water in less than five minutes.

I will do one story at a time.

Aug. 2004. I had just bought my 1995 29' Coachmen 5er and pulled it with a 1999 Dodge Ram 2500 with a V10. We took the camper to Yellowstone for our first trip with my wife. 2004 is back when gas was cheap and people had money. There was rental RV everywhere. It was like trying to avoid hiting mosquitos with your car.

I am a farm boy and grew up backing up wagons, so I pride myself on being able to drive and back most anything. Well these people can't. I put my 5er in a spot where the idiot could not park his 20' MH.

Next day driving down road and raffic comes to a stop. There is a cow moose about .5 miles off the road in a swamp. Whoo Hooo!
Cars, trucks and campers were pulled off to the side of the road watching. Then a rental idiot pulls up and stops right in road and blocks traffic for 10 min. The rental idiot #2 decides to try to drive through from the other direction. 9' is enough room, but not for this fool. He proceeds to hit his mirror on a new F250 pulled off into the ditch, then swerves and takes the mirror of the other rental. Houston we have a problem. Traffic is stopped for over one hour while these to bozos exchange info and try to spereate the rental MH. Finally me and another guy get into the MH's and get them out of the way.

That is story #1, I have more and some better. I am not bitter, no, not at all.

A little teaser for the next, it involves a rental MH and a two week vacation without empty a certain thing until.....
