Stuck in the mud

This happened to me about a year ago. I used my jscks. I placed boards under the jacks, raised the M/H as high as it would go, placed any thing I could find under the wheels. Raised the jacks and let the coach down on items I placed under the wheels, did that about 3 times till I was able to drive right out.
Takes a little time, but that I have plenty of.

Good answer, not always possible due to the jacks can sink just as deep or deeper than the tires but, if you've got something to place under the jacks to displace the weight to a larger square footage, than definitely a way to go. Good move.

Thank you all. I looked up towing companies here and there is one that does heavy trucks and rv's. ill ask coach net if we can use them. I got stuck once at talladega and a little one ton wrecker pulled me out but he was able to hook on the back at the hitch. Not so now.

I'm sorry if I double posted. Didn't mean to.

On the frame for sure BUT... more importantly the hooker should use a block pulley at ground level so that there is no vertical pull. The cable should be a pretty straight pull at ground level. A good hooker will know this. That's the only way to get big trucks moved. If it's a small wrecker he may not have that capability. Tell them to send a bigger hook. :) :)

On the frame. Make sure his chains when hooked up, don't touch the front of the body parts when the chain becomes taunt. The driver might ask you to dig out some of the dirt from in front of the rear tires.

Somewhere on the frame. These newer motorhomes without steel bumpers make it hard to get pulled out of some mud. I got mine stuck in the deep sand at the dunes, and had to get way up underneath to find a good spot on the frame to yank it. I am going to build a mount on mine with a tow hook right up front incase that happens again. You just need to crawl up underneath and be sure that it is low enough to where when he pulls taught the strap or chain, he doesn't rip your front fiberglass all to pieces.
