ouch...

Just a little humor for this morning.

Many of you have seen this little gaffe before no doubt, but if you haven't... ouch...



Cheers.

I had not seen it before. Thanx. This is a good reminder for all of us.

I had not seen it either. That would have made me sick! Thanks for sharing.

I have seen that before with semis and box trucks. Kind of like driveing away with the hose still in the gas tank. I marvel at it

Yeah, but the gas hose doesn't destroy the tow vehicle!

That looks like something I would do.

Hope I never do, though. I like my Airstream too much not to mention my truck, my family, the dog that travels with us, my own life, and that would really spoil the vacation!

All washed up

I've seen that one, has anybody seen this one? A couple in San Diego were trying to launch their boat with the motorhome...

One of the key captions said the motorhome WAS valued at $200,000.

That really hurts to look at.

I can't view the Youtube video until I get home so I'll have to wait to see it, but it doesn't sound good either.

I live in San Diego and that was all over the news. The driver of that class C MH was a , i hate to say it a woman. She lost control while launching a boat in the bay. I think the man of the house was in the boat.

A wee bit of water damage, but other than that it's in fine condition!

I'm shocked that no one has made nay"Land Yacht" jokes yet. Granted, it's not funny, but you have to admit, they proved if it ain't an Airstream, it ain't a Land Yacht!
