OMG. All/most of these things are for entertainment. I love getting to sites early to watch folks come in. Backing into things like ditches. Missing 30 foot wide pads and getting it all up in the bushes, driving off with antennas up and on rare occasions, awnings out. And the wife standing directly behind where she cannot bee seen or heard yelling STOP.


Then there's the...a storm is coming and they left everything out so the the next morning bikes and chairs and tables are blown everywhere and the guys are trying to figure out how they're going to get a shredded awning rolled back up.


Yes, people do take off with awnings out. My inlaws couldn't get their big MH over 50 mph. After holding the gas to the floor for two hours they finally decided to stop and then find out the awning was still out. I bet it was a hoot driving next to them and having your car under it on an interstate.

In my experience: Croatian Villages, especially when someone parks in a no parking zone, round a *very* tight turn.

Expecting Dicor to last more than a few years then using more Dicor when the old dries out, cracks and leaks water into the coach.

Getting in a hurry and the lack of common sense... and there's a lot of that going around, these days... On the owner's part or due to the other guy !

Carless mistakes and for some, lack of proper maintenance.
