While I was looking for images of Wacky RVs, I saw these RV accidents, and they made me cringe! These are just five things of many that you never want to happen to your RV. They are listed in order of how loud I said “Oh, no!” when I saw the images.
My heart goes out to anyone who has experienced these or other RV accidents while traveling or parking.
And, no, these images are not AI!
Backing-up boo-boo
While I have not witnessed something like this, we did have a close call one time in North Carolina. We were assigned a camp spot that was just impossible to back into with the trailer, so we moved. That night, a tree fell right where our heads would have been. And it hit a fence that was three feet from the heads of people sleeping in a tent. That still haunts me after all these years. Someone was watching out for us all!
U-turn… more like U-don’t-turn!
Someone needs to get a tide table! Can you hear the screaming? Don’t know the back story, but it doesn’t look like they were camped there, just turning around. Tough lesson to learn. We don’t even like to park near the beach because of salt damage to the vehicles.
A very dangerous lane hog!
I always wondered what you would do if the slider would not go in. But both of them? “It’s okay, Honey. We only live two hours away. We can make it!”
It’s a hot day – take a dip?
Nothing quite like taking a dip! This one must have really given the neighbors something to talk about…
An eight-foot ouch
Saved the biggest “Oh, no!” for last. The driver here was okay, but the fifth wheel is history. Looks like this section of road needs a drawbridge, or at least a bigger sign. I’ve never seen a bridge that low, but we have driven through some passages that were just a little wider than our rig.
