watch those tight turns or pay the price
I was sitting in front of the TT this LD weekend in the NC mountains and watching the place fill fast. Was wondering how everyone was going to make it through the maze.
A couple pulled in front and stopped to talk to friends parked across the way. They were all together and the guy was headed around the corner to the spot behind their friends. When he came by I noticed he was very close to a really nice and new fifth wheeler with a little slide right in front.
I was getting up to look ( there were like 4 adults in the party standing around ) as he made the turn and sideswiped the nice new FW. Just a glancing blow but it left a really ugly white scrape on a very nice rig.
The FW owner was not there. When they returned he took the news a lot better than I would have.
My whole point is to take advantage of your available eyes on the ground and go slow. These folks were in a bit of a hurry and talking not looking. Of course after the accident he had a warm body on all four corners the rest of the way to and in his site. He was embarrassed and unfortunately the FW he hit was probably the newest and most expensive one in the CG.
