I could write a short novel on some of the bonehead blunders I've done in my years of RVing.......
Things like the time I backed my truck into my fully open awning and tore an arm off..
Many times forgetting to remove the chocks and yanking my TT over them.
Blindsiding the TT into a narrow driveway in the pouring rain and a stupid ignorant power pole leapt out from the side and viciously attacked the back corner of my TT, leaving a big crunch in the side.
Jackknifing the rig too far backing up and poking a ladder on top of my truck rack right through the front of the TT at the top.
A full pound of butter down the heat duct once earned me the nickname here of butterboy...:B That was a classic... some of you here may remember my story on that one.
Forgot to latch the hitch on my TT once. Left the site in Fort Saint John BC and hit a big heave in an intersection, bucked the trailer off the ball and it did a nosedive into the pavement right in the middle of the intersection. There I was with a piddly little bottle jack and a few blocks if wood trying to put it back on the ball. Made it as far as Cache Creek on the way back to Surrey when the TT looked funny in the mirror. Pulled over and one side of the hitch frame was broken nearly right through. Good thing for a truck full of cordless tools to do a makeshift repair to get it to a welding shop for repairs. Yeah the was a monumental blunder on my part....
Not realizing my bathroom sink drained into the black tank not the grey, I kept pouring water down the drain into a full black tank, wondering why it was getting fuller and fuller. Stepped on the flush pedal to have a look down the hole, only to be greeted by a geyser of "soup" erupting like a volcano out of the toilet. Yeah that was a (unprintable) mess all over the bathroom to clean up.... ewwwwwww! :E:E Gag me with a spoon...
Left the awning too level once and had it fill up with water from a sudden rain storm. In a desperate attempt to empty it with a broom the scissor arm cylinder did its job and collapsed, emptying the contents of the awning inside the TT door, flooding the place.
I could go on!!!
Life with Bob in the RV is NEVER boring!!! :B
Through all of my time at this site, Bob has had the best stories. I read everything I see posted by him because it is never time wasted. Bob is a humble man and is not afraid to make fun of himself. I wish I could be more like him.
