Sure is! Seems he doesn't know a few things.
Learn height of rig
Don't go under trees
Learn how long the rig is
And lastly, don't try to convince me ebikes are the same as regular bikes.

Yep, we've made dumb mistakes, so we are not without sin but there are better ways to handle that gas station:
- We typically fill up before we hook up.
- If we do wind up in a tight gas station, it may be embarrassing but one of us will get out and direct.

I do appreciate, they showed him cussing (bleeped) afterwards. It does annoy me when you watch youtube videos and something horrible happens but they act like it didn't phase them in the least.

That "camper" sure looks like a 3er!

Ouch is right!

To his defense, there is no Truck Stop within 50 miles from this location.
Then when you think about - those strong posts are placed around the pumps base on previous experience.
I bet backup camera made it high on his TD list.

Expensive electric bikes

Hey, he saved 3 cents a gallon on his fill up.

For sure! . . . Not to mention $3.80 for diesel, and Premium that's 91 octane rather than 93.
