Just to make you feel better . . . .
When I picked up my first 5th wheel from Camping World and headed out, I hooked it up the way they told me to . . . did everything like they said . . . but they failed to tell me to look to make sure the lock had closed around the pin. I pulled out, made a left turn out of the parking spot, made a right turn to go up by the CW store, then started to make another right turn to go into the main parking lot and WHAM!!! My Avion Westport had come off of the hitch and landed squarely on the back of the bed of my, until then, pristine and beautiful Ford F350. Made a huge dent in the bed on the passenger side, a smaller dent on the driver's side. But boy, nothing like experience to learn my lesson. It was a $1800 repair job. I just left it, assuming I'd do something else like that before it was all over. Never did though. Graduated from the Westport to a 2002 Teton after 6 months of RVing and never had another mishap (knock on wood). Am now in a motorhome though . . . just to make sure!!
