That's our rig ... and yeah we were just beginning to cross the river that was still over it's banks from a wet spring. The campground back in those hills had just opened that weekend for the season, hence the pylons guiding so as to be able to stay on the flooded road along the river.
I just posted it as an example of places where we go that I'd sure like to have an ERS policy that had no official conditions prohibiting rescue from places such as that should we have needed it. That kind of policy is never going to be available in the U.S. from any U.S. company. Maybe an underwriter from Lloyd's of London could/would offer a policy ... but not ever any U.S. organizations like GS or CN.
I guess the reasoning goes that "... Since motorhome owners have no business being in certain really desirable boondocking spots regardless of whether they are able to get there, why offer them an insurance product?...".
No, not just Motorhome owners, I guess I wasn't "EXACT" enough where my property is. It's, literally in the middle of nowhere, in a valley, surrounded by mountains on the banks of the Greenbriar River near Pence Springs WV.....It's as remote as the spot your picture is showing.....Some would call it "boondocking"...maybe "I" shouldn't have bought the property and towed a 39' 9" , 16,000# 5th wheel with a 1 ton Crew Cab/long bed/dually and parked it where I did......BUT, I know when NOT to be theres NOW, and when to "get out of Dodge, so to speak"....I've learned, and seeing as how it IS my property, have improved on where i now park my 5er and got a much more "solid" way to escape.. Hope I never have the same issue again....live and learn, and I did from that particular incident.
"IF" I'd been on "higher ground", I'd waited it out and not went out of my way to put my truck or my 5er in danger of being washed away....
