Sightseeing, the staple diet of many RVers. We’re not sure what happened to the driver of this motorhome rental. Perhaps the Yosemite sights were too much, and they got a bit too close to the edge. It’s a good reminder for all of us. If the view is gorgeous, pull over and admire it! Don’t “fall” for the view—it could be an expensive habit!
Mike W.’s boo-boo (Shhh. No one knows.)
For reader Mike W., his RV boo-boo had less serious consequences. We’ll let him explain:
“After a long day and late arrival at a remote camp we started to disconnect our ‘toad.’ As I was disconnecting safety cables and power from the coach I noticed my wife has not entered our toad to set the brake and start the engine.
“Problem, electric door button will not unlock the door.
“Solution, old-fashioned find the key and unlock.
“Problem, now in the driver’s seat and no power, as in dead battery.
“Solution, motorhome has a lot a batteries and long set of jumper cables.
“Problem solved, disconnect complete. Cause of original problem of dead battery. Forgot to fully shut off the ignition that morning in a rush to get on the road. Solution…. follow the checklist including other spouse double-checking…. Glad to say we don’t have pictures. Up until now, no one knew….”
Thanks, Mike, for sharing your tale!
