Ever Feel Like You Were Stuck in a Rut?

[69RoadRunner]

I did last Wednesday at Ocean Lakes, Myrtle Beach. I guess I should always get a concrete pad.



I pulled in, but was too close to the hookup post. Backed up. Cut the wheel. Put it in Drive and the Cummins ISB dug me halfway to China.



Ocean Lakes paid for the wrecker. The only damage that I noticed was the bottom of 1 bay door and just behind that door.

How'd you get those scratches?

 

[MLee]

Your right!! Hard surfaces only. But in the dark how are you going to know.

When you drive something that big, G. O. A. L. is a good "word" or acronym to live by. Get Out And Look.

What was the sprinkler for? To trap the next guy trying to have an enjoyable weekend?

 

[CumminsBu]

Air down the tire will help.

Haha maybe to keep the dust down?

I didn't do a good enough job digging out the sides when the wrecker pulled it out.



The sprinkler packs sand, I guess. They might have planted some seed, too.

HMMMM tandem rear axles with lockers for both would have not had a problem but then costs lots of $'s. By the way nice rig even with scratches. I suppose to get scratches out you could try automotive clay bar it will help some. More serious rubbing compound and worst cast sanding and painting.

I suppose you will carry a couple of 2X8 to lay under the duals from now on, seing how you have all that room on board, and air down the tires will help also as noted prior. Was there a CTD nearby to pull you out?

 

[69RoadRunner]

I was surprised that there weren't any Bubbas offerering to pull me out with their F150s.

What's your gross weight 69RR?

I know it's a weird feeling when you press the go pedal and "she no go".

 

[69RoadRunner]

I've trimmed down to about 195.



Oh, the motorhome is about 32,000 pounds.

 

[LRutigliano]

That is one beautiful motorhome !! I am very jealous...



Just a rookie thought, but what if you put the landing gear down (with wood or those legos) and raised the tires enough to repack the sand? Also, you could then put the legos in the sand for some traction.

I tried that, but for some reason, I couldn't get the Atwood Levelegs to raise just the rears. It works fine in Auto Level mode.



I've only tried the manual mode once before, and it worked fine.

69RR,



Maybe you should look at the bright side, at least you didn't pick last week with the fires in the Myrtle Beach area, this is a nasty one for our State.



Safe travels, and I bet the True Bubba's were camping some place "less formal".

 

[69RoadRunner]

Fortunately, those fires aren't near Ocean Lakes. My prayers go out to all who are affected by those fires.



I have friends who live down there. It's not near their house, but it did prevent them from getting to an event at church when the road was closed.
