I never mentioned age one time in the post. Bouncing 30 feet of the motorhome and then the whole side of the toad off of a tree is no “accident “. I know 30 year olds who shouldn’t be riding a bicycle let alone driving a 45’ MH. The people seemed fine and acted like this happens every day.

Sounds like maybe he is related to the lady who tried to take out the service center at Tiffin in Red Bay.

Suppose they'll swipe the same tree on the way out so both sides of the coach and toad match?
Sorry.[emoji56]

Trees grow. Cars are replaceable, just thankfull no one was hurt. Hopecully he's not tipping a few while driving. Used to see a guy get out of a white caddy in prescott valley that had to hand rail it to walk to his trailer.

I first met my Father-in-law when he was ~45 years old. He was a bad driver then. I was scared to death to ride with him, drove too slow, stopped at green lights, wondered all over the road. About 5 years passed before a semitruck pushed him off the interstae, I figured he was probably driving 45 in a 75 and the semi just misjudged his speed. Naturally it was the semi drivers fault but in reality my FIL was an accident waiting to happen. Luckily he or his granddaughter were not hurt.



Some people should never be allowed to drive any type of vehicle.

I saw a boater once pull out of their slip on a very windy day. It was a bridge boat. The wind got a hold of it and pushed across the canal right into 3 other boats. By the time he got it back under control he put a huge gouge across the entire hull side as he dragged across three bow pulpits and anchors. He also damaged those boats.

He yelled to me to let the owner of the marina know he'd call later and arrange to pay for damages.

He paid for all damages and brought his boat back in a couple weeks to be repaired.

Point is sometimes what we hold dear or consider valuable that we take care of might not have the same value to others.

I watch people drop 200 grand on a boat only to be left uncovered and never cleaned or maintained and then maybe use it once or twice a year.

Different people have different values.

Sounds like "Happy Hour" started before their arrival. Over the years, we've heard several people mention that they had a cocktail or 2 as they got close to their destination for the night. We're big fans of happy hour, but not until the rig is parked and hooked up
