How To Tear Off Your Truck Camper Jack Made Easy.

No need for more words, the video tells the story. I'll be studying Mountain Cowboys S&S Red Repair video for this one.

I had a jack sheared off….Kinda reminded me of what it felt like to step on a steamy-fresh Cow Patty…

Frankly, yes. If I'm patronizing your RV park, and paying you (dearly) for a safe, comfortable place to park and hook up my RV overnight, you DO owe me and others the common courtesy of providing for your patrons the best you can. If you can't (or won't), there are plenty of other fish in the sea. So, yes indeed, you translated precisely right! Glad you got the point :C

lol, that just turned south and took a nose dive. Where did that come from??

Disagree; OP laid it all out there so each, and everyone of us, could self reflect and ponder life. Our choices, actions and consequences. No one has to be like minded and agree...otherwise, we'd all live in dumps like Seattle..if I understand your logic.

Great thread! Thanks for the eye opener OP!


Somebody is upset that I understand that if real research was done the numbers I put out might be proven to be "Alternative Facts" But I don't think there is any question, most people do not hit pipes.
Now the OP has said he is responsible for the damage. I take the post as a reminder that snot can happen. But a large percentage of people seem to think property owners should not only provide a service, but also make sure the RVers can't damage their rig.


Not necessarily 'can't' damage their rig, but perhaps have less of a chance of doing so.

Keeping up here....

Since you asked a question; it's the driver's responsibility. Ultimately, it's the driver who is responsible to check surroundings. Ever wonder why most professional drivers (truck, cops, maintenance vehicles, etc) most always back into a parking spot? It's safer. Same as the cone concept. Same as knowing our height and reading signs. Same as checking for limbs on things that grow.

We can hope for, wish for, want, more signs to assist us, but that doesn't transfer the responsibility.

Read JRscooby's previous post -- that's exactly where it came from, and my response was intended for him, not the OP.

Try to keep up :C

Pipe can't train? Are you saying the OP is likely to hit it again?
I bet he, and many that looked at pictures will pay more attention to them for a while.

I think I like that idea better than the school backpack I saw at Christmas. The 6 YO was so proud he could unzip, pull out of a pocket, pull over his head and have the meat of his body sandwiched in Kevlar

I thought the job of the red pipe was to train drivers not to run over the valuable stuff.

Nobody's saying to remove the posts, just design them using a little common sense. I'll bet your "99.99%" figure is quite high. I'd imagine they've been hit plenty of times due to their faulty design.



I admit, I'm using trump numbers, but if I had some way to prove it I would bet it averages at least 1000 uses between impacts. And the same in-attention that leads to impact there could in another time/place impact a child. How do we re-design them?

And, completely objective. Yes flags on “short” obstructions does increase their visibility.
That’s why that method is widely employed in many applications.
