Watch out for loose junk in your truck bed
You may have seen this story, but it is interesting -- someone left a ratchet strap in his truck bed. It eventually flew out and wrapped around his driveshaft, somehow, causing thousands of dollars ...

Good heads up. But the story has it as an RV accident! Not at all. It was a mishap that could've been avoided by putting things away.
Years ago at the dealer we had a Dakota come in with about 3 feet thick of chainlink fence wrapped around the driveshaft. Supposedly the kid got drink and thought it would be fun to off road through a golf course. Only he got hung up on he fence on the way out. It ruptured the file tank, thankfully it didn't ignite the gas somehow. It took hours with snips just to get he chain link fence out from under he truck!
