Pull over!

While towing through a busy town yesterday a gal in the car next to me waved at me and pointed to the rear of my 5er.

Maybe she was acknowledging what a nice RV you have

Was the boat you were pulling behind your 5th wheel still there? :B

oh.. that!

I wonder if someone was hitching a ride on your ladder :E
Did you notice someone walk off as you came to a stop?

I was following someone on I5 southbound in WA a few weeks ago. Their vent was wide open and at 70mph taking quite a beating. I tried to get them to pull over immediately, but they held on until the next exit. I got in front of them and watched the vent fly off about a 1/2 mile before the exit. Glad it didn't cause an accident with a following vehicle.

Someone pulled up side of me last weekend and flagged me down. It seems that I put the antenna up without my sticky note on the speedometer. I think we'd driven about 50 miles before he stopped me. I was truly surprised it was still there.

I spotted a guy who was at a dump station in a heavily wooded State Park. He had a tall class A and had managed to leave his site and travel to the dump with his antenna up, and somehow didn't tear it off. I told his female partner that it was up. She looks up, and gives me a bubble headed blond response of, "Oh, it's fine like that". The male of the pair hears this exchange, rounds the corner, looks at her, and with a bit of weary attitude in his voice says,"stop talking". He then looks at me and says, "thanks, I appreciate that". I tried hard to not laugh as I said no problem, and walked away.

Had a similar thing happen to me, but I happened to get a picture.

Had it happen last year when we were leaving the city during rush hour and it was very slow on the freeway. I noticed a car behind the fiver for the longest time and then all of a sudden she pulled in the lane next to me and motioned for me to roll down my window. When I did, she said "you have no brake lights on your trailer". Of course my wife instantly hit the roof while I calmly turned on the headlights and saw the marker lights on the trailer come on and touched the brake pedal and felt the trailer react. My wife kept on about me not checking the lights, etc. so I finally found a place to pull over and found all of the lights (including the brake lights) working perfectly.

I then clued in and realized that I had not used the service brakes at all in the stop and go traffic and had only used the exhaust brake on full mode. It works very well on the Cummins/6 speed manual combo! :B

Yes. But I have so many monitors going on I just looked at them, looked at the toad from the camera, and check my bay doors using the side mirrors. Kept on moving down the road.

Isn't checking brake lights her job?:h

Had a guy rolled down his window at a stop light right before I took off and told me my brake lights weren't working properly. Had to pull over into the median and get my wife to go check things out. Everything was (just as I thought), working properly. I still have no idea what that was all about...
