Like offering to help.
In the past I have offered many times. Most of the times the offer is rudely refused. I now prefer to pull up a chair. - aslaksonExplorerI thought about offering to help, but not sure I could keep a straight face talking to somebody who doesn't understand how a pull-thru site works.
al - ScottGNomadI dont offer help unless it looks like they're going to damage the rig.
- fla-gypsyExplorerBacking into a pull through is something I have not seen but there's always the next trip.
- Reminds me of the old days as a gas jockey. People would pull in with the fill neck on the wrong side. I would ask them to pull around. Behold they would pull back up to the other side going the other way. I learned to block their path and direct them. :)
As for the OP I assume he was practicing backing up ;) - Johno02ExplorerYou must have been close to us at Defeated Creek COE a few weeks ago! All us just sat and watched! Even with questions in our minds, we tried hard not to laugh!
- LantleyNomadI offer help to those that need it. Most of those that need help will accept help.
On the other hand I generally don't need help unless it's dark out.
However I'm not to proud to let someone spot for me. Ultimately I'm in charge and will not let a unknown spotter guide me the wrong way.
Always remember the
GOAL Get Out And Look
I've learned long ago not to laugh at the newbie's. Offer help if they decline let them muddle through it's the only way they will learn.
There are lot's of variables and pitfalls in the RV world. You can quickly find your self the source of someone else's laughter - Old-BiscuitExplorer IIILast time I offered a 'extra set of eyes' cause site was 'tight' I got chewed out by lady driver......she had been a bus driver for 20+ years.
SO I pulled up lawn chair on my site for better viewing angle and WATCHED her smash front bumper on a boulder, whack MH tail on a tree and then dent compartment door an another boulder.
I still offer but doesn't take much to turn me into a spectator. - LadyRVerExplorer IIOffer to help me back in to a site and I will gladly accept.... I have never seen anyway back into a pull thru, but, I myself have backed out of a pull thru..sometimes easier than trying to swing around a tree or obstacle .
In the beginning years, maybe I had to circle the block to get into the pull thru..heh heh.
