I've been fortunate over the years to have had no serious fopas.
I drove around about half of New Mexico one day with the TV antenna cranked up. No harm done, just felt stupid.
Helped one daughter and family move to Idaho last year. We took the TC and pulled a completely filled double axle U-Haul for them. We could not use the folding scissor steps with the trailer attached so just set them on the trailer A-frame each night and we stepped up on the trailer tongue and climbed in the TC. Yep....I forgot to put the steps back in the TC one morning. I remembered, with a shock, about 10 miles down the Interstate from Rawlins, Wyoming. Still in place but I just envisioned them falling off and ruining several trailer tires before I could get stopped.
I generally don't make the same mistake twice.
