In my first blog entry, I referenced a 2007 study by a leading RV Insurance.  The study found that two of the most common mishaps that RV owners report are backing up into a post or other stationary object and misjudging the amount of overhead/or side clearance space.  I think that these two things just might be the reason that I will never be the one driving the RV.

In 2007, I went to Los Angeles, California on a business trip.  Now, if you have ever been to L.A. you know the traffic can be horrendous.  Eight lanes of bumper to bumper, honking, swearing,...“bliss”.  In the middle of all this chaos, I saw a semi truck driver who was pulling his regular trailer load, plus an extra trailer behind that.  I thought to myself, “Boy, I am SO glad that I am not him!”  To me, driving something that large would be tough in no traffic and in traffic like Los Angeles has, it would be near to impossible.  Of course, you are listening to the person who can barely back a compact car out of my own garage, so take it as you may.

This is a salute to all of you who have gone to your nearest RV Dealer and bought a Class A Motorhome!  I am amazed at those of you who have driven your beautiful new RV for more than five minutes and haven’t run into anything!  I am afraid that those RV Dealers who get my RV sale will have to settle for me buying the smallest folding camping trailer that there is!  So, alert the RV Insurance Companies here I come to buy an RV that I will be the one driving!  Or maybe I should just stick to driving my compact car, I run into enough already and it already has a scratch!
