Maybe we should start a support group.

"Hi, my name is DrewE and I...I back up mine RV without a spotter...."

Actually, that's not completely true; it's just that I'm most often my own spotter. In tricky situations, it can be a rather iterative process. I will admit I don't bother to check whether or not I'm still visible in the mirror before reversing, though.

What do you do if your spotter is a vampire? I understand they you can't see their reflections in mirrors.:B

I figure if I get in the way of myself when backing, then I deserve to get run over.

As for vampire spotters, they have a tendency to get side tracked at the scent of blood or garlic - so they're not really trustworthy spotters. Especially around mealtimes.

But they are better than werewolves (who run off chasing every little critter) and mummies (who tend to get unraveled when they're stressed).

X2, many of them OFTEN.

X3, some of them year 'round. In fact, I am probably breaking a couple of them as I sit here!

I've been trying to teach Bizmark and Maggie to spot me, but they keep wandering off to chase squirrels or beg for hot dogs at neighboring camp sites. Plus, they are hopeless with the walky talky - it gets slobbered on and chewed, then they bury it under some interesting smelling bush.

Mostly just internet myths and tales. Waste of bandwidth.

Yes, but it is a fun waste.:B:B

How many folks actually shut off the water and disconnect the electric if you are leaving you TT for a day or even overnight side trip ?

4, 5 and 11 are about the only ones I agree with.
