My summer trips that usualy last 3 to 4 months lasted one day.
I was going up the interstate in Georgia when I was broadsided.
Picture this"
three lane highway
me on the right lane
A pickup passing me on the left; he was in the middle lane
Another car passing that pickup; he was in the third lane
After only getting halfway past the pickup; it turns directly into the pickup, hitting in on the front fender.
The pickup lost control and drove directly into my motorhome, hitting me just behind the rear wheels.
I was going about 55 MPH; the ones passing were going much faster.
After I was hit the motorhome went up on two wheels ( a witness saw this).
By this time I was holding the steering wheel tight trying to steer out of this; all the time my brain kept saying don;t put on the breaks; hit the gas, thank goodness, that is most likley saved me from rolling over.
My wife had her seatbelt on which saved her, everything flew out of the cubberts and most of the drawers popped open and things were flying everywhere.
When the police arrived (they were there in less than a minute); they couldn't understand why we weren't injured; the way the motorhome was. My wife nor I had even a bruse, they had called an ambelance (sorry for my bad spelling) they took the ones in the pickup to the hospital. a man his wife and a small child,
The car that caused the accident took off down the road and there still looking for it.
What a way to start a summer;
I'm back home, I'll put the motorhome and truck in for repair get it fixed and I will hit the road again.
One more note; the pickup hit my toad too. front fender grill bumper and bent the hitch.
