My last trip in my fifth-wheel was pretty bad and it's been hard to get motivated to go again.
The truck overheated and I took it to three different shops along my route. They charged over 300 dollars and never found the cause - it turned out to be a blown head gasket.
My front jacks wouldn't extend and I had to cross-wire the leads to the motor to unhook the RV.
My 12 volt system quit working so I lost my fridge, electric jacks, and the ability to put my slides in. The campground that I was staying at insisted that I had to leave NOW, despite the fact that I couldn't get the slides in or the jacks to retract.
I blew two tires that were less than a year old and it did about 1500 in damage to the RV.
I slid off a slick clay road and got stuck at 11 p.m. in a remote part of North Carolina.
After all of that, I'm now trying to get the truck and RV fixed so I can take it out and see what else has broken while it sat unused.

I would not leave a Campground in that Circumstance. They would have had to sue me. What a Bunch of Jerks.

That's OK to say unless you were the next guy for that site that made the reservation a year ago and you traveled 800 miles to get there. I would be helping to move it. Slides can be manually moved in.

Not to kick a guy having a bad day, but no sense spreading the misery. I've had issues with mine that I couldn't tow, and the campground found me a storage place to park it.

Sounds like =nobody= was willing to help the OP, from the CG to his neighbors. I get where you're coming from, and you'd at least be willing to help the guy, even if it was with ulterior motives. The rest are a-holes, IMO.
