I nearly killed the other camp sites kid Screwin' with..

I come back from the beach... And find this 5-6 yr old pressing the activation button my my jacks... I yell at him., snatch him up and take him to his dad... I now have one bent arm! On my brand new rig... The dad gave me $200... Said sorry and throttled his kid. LOL it was nice to see some discipline dished out for once

Pics to follow

It is a lippert jack, looks like the unit comes apart... Motor first, then a plate that captures the drive screw... Then the screw and jack unit comes out. Where do I get a new arm? Call lippert? I m, sure warranty won't cover this...

Just dandy.....

On another note. My Hensley rocks!

    In this overly litiguous society, the first instinct of a parent is to defend the kid no matter what, even if the facts are obvious. We have taught our kids that they won't be held accountable and that everyone else is at fault.

    Not me. In my judgement this is not doing the kid any favors and I have always told my kids that their everyone needs to be accountable for their actions. It takes a lot of effort and guidance but you can only do o much, before they have to go off on their own and make their own decisions - good or dumb. Mine have left home now and while we still worry from time to time, they have to make their own way.
