Default And you thought your RV trip was not going well

This isn't strictly a Class B item, but it's something to keep in mind.

This poor RVer was preparing to pull his boat out of the Erie Canal near Brockport, NY, when his RV brakes failed to hold. You can see the results.

That is a bad day of camping right there!
YouTube has dozens more like it.
I pull my boat with my Roadtrek all the time.
Never get my rear tires any where near the wet area of the ramp.
Carry a bag of kitty litter in case it's all wet.
Always set the emergency brake!
So far....no worries.....knock wood.
Cheers
Eddie

Do you chock your wheels when you exit your camper? I never did when I dropped the boat in or hauled it out with my Durango, but I might go the extra measure if I were doing it with my camper!
