Don’t back up unassisted! January 12, 2020, 12:06:37 pm In Quartzsite this morning. Those of us who are regulars here know this guy. Tough lesson to learn.

Re: Don’t back up unassisted! Reply #4 – January 12, 2020, 03:11:00 pm We all make mistakes. I was undeservedly lucky; I got out of mine (see below) with no damage. I suspect the rig pictured above is going to need some work, but I hope it won't be too extensive or costly. My sympathies to the owner. 2 Likes

Re: Don’t back up unassisted! Reply #6 – January 12, 2020, 05:10:48 pm I've done something similar in a pickup truck. The sides of a path can be soft and give way (slump down) even when it looks like you are a foot or two from the edge.It's not an adventure if you know how everything will turn out.Rich'03 MB in NC 1 Likes

I did notice he was back up on level ground when we went out this afternoon to dump the tanks, grab lunch, and fill up with propane.Can I just say that the Mexican food truck on the south side of Keuhn between 95 and Gamblers served us an excellent meal. I firmly believe that the dodgier it looks, the better the food.
Re: Don’t back up unassisted! Reply #9 – January 13, 2020, 10:54:33 am That was my fear as I took scenic Arkansas Hwy 7 from Harrison to Russellville--couldn't enjoy the scenery lest I fins myself with nothing but air where I expected pavement (the road didn't seem to be a concern to the big rigs I encountered )--but I think it could be lovely from the passenger seat...Lynne
