Drove a rental Motorhome WHERE?

We are On the Road Again, this time for a motorhome at least 10 miles down Swaines Creek "Road". This is VERY steep, rocky, wet with low clearance, off camber and is not a road for any Motorhome. The customers took off on foot the day after getting stuck and walked over 10 miles to call for help. We had a bit of a goose chase getting to the rig, but luckily found it and got it out with no real issues. Thanks for coming along for the ride. Cruise America Does Not approve of this message! Thanks Casey

Awesome recovery. Everybody needs a good partner like Becky.

[@svridr2k]

That is quite an impressive feat... to get that RV that far down that road. I was even more impressed they got it turned around!

"BEEEEEEEP". "I'm NOT putting my seat belt on! I want to be able to abandon ship."

[@swampypolitics9574]

I laughed so hard haha

[@richardwoodworth549]

You are looking at this all wrong, they had a spectacular camping spot, nobody bothered them and you drove it out. Worked out great for them! That overhang does give them a lot of traction. Gives whole new meaning to drive it like a rental...I think was your best video

[@jdmather5755]

Yes. I want to go.

[@1nvisible1]

*Your tow was one night of hotel and room svc. $500 of CL tires/wheels renter could sell on the way out would've made this doable.*

[@johnmccaughan4195]

Fellow told me one time watching this kind of videos was boring. I told him it was never boring and occasionally one comes up like this one. It is excellent entertainment, the license plate flying off was a great ending. I watch a lot of videos in my old age, got four or five favorites and this is one of them. Thanks, Casey and Becky for a fun 30 minutes.

[@spazmanlee]

Nice thing about a motor home is as soon as the motor quits you still got the home part! Instant homestead! Good job Casey and Becky!

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Never Stranded in a mtr home

[@Zerbey]

I'm as in awe as you are that they made it that far without doing more serious damage.

[@c0mputer]

That plate flying off the front was hilarious

[@MollyGrue1]

[@brucebaxter6923]

I’m impressed even if you aren’t. You are getting that monster out mostly under it’s own power with minimal extra damage.

[@walthanas]

Now that was some impressive off roading with such a motor home! I'm not sure what impresses me more: the fact that it went up that canyon so far before getting stuck or the driver being mad enough to just keep going once they saw what kind or trail they had just taken!

[@TWX1138]

You know, for four tons, two wheel drive, and an open differential, that motorhome was surprisingly good offroad.

[@saginawdan]

I was thinking the same!

[@lornahardin4563]

Wonder if there's a back way in no one knows about but the camper driver.?.

[@dflood6111]

Remember who's driving. Casey was using every bit of his calibrated eyeballs to find just the right route through some of those spots..

[@TWX1138]

@@dflood6111 I know. He's certainly got chops. What did stand out though, the RV is heavier on the rear axle than on the front. This meant lifting front wheels whenver a wheel was going to lift. This is different than what's most commonly seen with a front-engine vehicle, as most tend to be heavier on the front axle than on the rear. I have no doubt this helped with maintaining forward propulsion since the open differential had less opportunity for a wheel to utterly lose traction. It probably felt pretty weird to drive too, like the back of the vehicle was driving rather than the driver driving.

[@steved2136]

@@TWX1138 Its why the old rear engined beetle and kombis were so good offroad- all the weight is on the drive tyres (I've been offroading and been in 4wd for ages, and then come across a kombi camped out in the bush- like 'no way, how did that get here'...)

[@wb2vsj]

Casey, you need to set up a bulletin board in your shop and put photos up of these incredible recoveries with a little caption/date underneath.

[@orangepickel2]

Yea, like near death experiences

[@kitvickrose]

I was impressed with the performance of the RV. Articulation is pants. Plenty of lifting of front wheels, but apart from a few patches it drove out of there unaided. Driver skill getting it out of there made it look easy.

[@mygarden365]

Casey, You and your lovely wife, are a great team, be safe.

[@wheelmanruss4620]

Reminds of that line from the song "Black Bear Road", "you don't have to be crazy to drive this road but it helps"

[@richarda996]

That’s a good oil field road,lol. Looks like a good camping spot that no one will bother us.

[@whiterabbit2786]

My blood pressure spiked while watching that recovery. Testament to the F350 platform, but sheesh, I need a beer after watching that!

[@luke8210]

This guy is a legend in my eyes. He drove that thing better than most of the people on this channel.

[@srcazier]

That was as entertaining as it gets. Becky is very competent, nothing she can't do. I'm impressed. That was really harrowing.

[@CaseysOffRoadRecovery]

Thanks Roger. Yes I am very spoiled. She has been around this for over 20 years and she will hang with the best of them!

exactly my thoughts. I just truly dislike people who abuse the shit that is not theirs.

I don't have any close neighbors, but I'm sure they still heard me laugh when the plate launched. Not everyone can say they have drifted in a motorhome!! They must have been watching to many overland videos and thought all RVs can go anywhere. Glad you had Becky along for the ride.. thanks for the entertainment.

[@pokerbob2277]

Wow! Best ever recovery yet! Just wow

[@richparker3048]

I enjoyed doing recoveries because I got to see such beautiful country. And then there was the challenge of figuring out what to do to minimize damage.

[@mattc.310]

That looked like a little more than someone just following a GPS. There's supposed to be some independent thought involved. They did get to see some beautiful scenery though. I've seen people do a lot with RVs but this has got to be the best so far. Glad Becky came along. You would have had to shanghai someone for this one. The plate coming off after all that was gold. Thanks for taking us along for the ride. Thanks, Becky for going along even with busted ribs. A real trooper.

[@johncraig406]

Watched this today, for the 2nd time. @79 y/o now, these videos help me relive my work-a-holic days when I used to 4x4 a Dodge Ramcharger thru those mountains doing stupid things, and working in the "Oil Patch" and yes, always carried log chains, and a 175 ft long Steel Cable with hooks on each end.... that's for pulling idiots out of the ditch w/o me having to get "off the track", the company would not authorize me having a Winch... but those long cables made up for it. Back in the '70s and '80s a GPS was not in the Vernacular, paper maps and knowledge is what got you there.

[@roberthemphill8588]

That was an intense recovery. Lucky Becky was with you and it was daylight. Thanks for the video.

[@rodmackinnon8497]
