Wow, that is scary stuff! I take for granted how easy it is to pull our Jeep behind the motorhome. I always forget it's behind us unless I have the backup camera on. I used to always check the tow bars every time I stop for fuel but I have gotten out of the habit of checking. I will be checking from now on!

Yeah, that's us, too, Burch. Another 400 miles today and no problem, but when we would stop and fuel, we always doublechecked. In fact, I turn the accessory on so the camera comes up so I can see the front of the car. We do always have the camera on.
A funny story about cameras. We were in Quartzite boondocking with the "Class of 2005." A friend of ours had a Gulfstream Diesel 40' motorhome. He had a problem with the toad. I said, Dan, aren't you watching that toad in the camera all the time? He said, WEll, No, I can't stand all that noise. I asked him what noise and he said engine noise (like I was stupid or something. LOL I said Dan . . . you have a volume control on that camera. . .just turn it down. The strangest look passed over him and he immediately ran to the coach and checked. He was really contrite when he came back. He never knew there was a volume control on that camera. Hahahaha.
