Have DUAL 50A receptacles on 5vr. Majority of time use the front one.
One CG used the back one-------yep started to drive away with it still connected.
Fortunately only damage was to male plug end....blades bent/cable stretched
Didn't like that plug anyway
Since then..dual walk-around. Each of us going opposite directions :B
Jammed a tree limb into/under roof backing into a tight spot (No worries I can get it in there)------thank you EternaBond Tape.
Since then.......listen to her better :B
First year we had a Garmin I failed to 'check/verify' unknown route and when Miss Garmin said 'Turn Left 500 yards' I turned left onto a nice tree lined narrow street and remarked that this CG really had a nice entrance.
About 1/4 mile of travel Miss Garmin states 'Destination reached' at which time I notice these two large Iron Work Gates that lead into a CEMETERY. And old one with huge pine trees.
After much jocking I finally get truck & 5th wheel headed back out to main road.
CG was another 1 1/2 miles further and on right side!!
Miss Garmin went into a box muffled nr' to be heard from again. Figured if I had to check/verify routes what do I need Miss Garmin for??
Besides I hated when we would verve off course "RECALCULATING-RECALCULATING" :B
