I am so very grateful that you posted this video, your voices were in my head when I when to the gas station today. I was pulling away from the pump and about to make a somewhat sharp turn and just as I was about to turn this video popped into my head and I looked back and sure enough I would have hit the post and possibly even the pump if I would have turned then. You saved me from making this mistake. Thank you so very much! I'm so sorry you experienced this but so glad you shared your experience.

Remote Back Up Camera might have prevented that. You are correct about gas stations, and they should post the heights of what can pass under their canopies right on their canopies. Of course, as a trucker, I had to always keep that in mind as well as ground clearance. I've never had one accident trucking, because I always kept safety first in mind as well especially when it comes to road conditions. Many things to consider. The lowest bridge I've ever been under was 13' 7," but I still stopped to check especially after they laid down new pavement. I hope it doesn't cost too much to repair for you both. Safe Journeys!

I sure miss him! ♥️ Now, back to you! I hope it just looks worse than it is and your travel plans pick right back up. Your video came up in my Google News feed. I'm glad I clicked on it.

You are in no way the only people this has happened to, you are a rare couple who shows life's trials to others so they may learn where most other people hide them from sight. You two are wonderful and it shows that you can weather these challenges together. Life happens no matter how hard we try to avoid mistakes and accidents. The real value seen here is your commitment to each other and supporting each other when one of you is trying to overcome a difficult situation. I have no doubt happiness and great adventures await you both!!

[@Rock-Bottem1982]

I drive 18 wheelers for a living, and getting a CDL A license and then completing training takes several months before a driver should go on the road as a Solo driver. The reason for this is of course driving a rig that weighs 80,000lbs and is 75 feet long and 13' 6' high requires a lot of training to drive safely. I feel that anyone that is allowed to purchase a tow behind camper trailer should be required to undergo a training course, and then be required to get some sort of endorsement on their license. Inexperience is dangerous and costly. Sorry for my thoughts, but I see way to many inexperienced people driving these tow behind trailers on the road, and many are pretty bad and unsafe at it

[@LizAmazing]

Very true. This was a definite wake-up call for us. We will definitely be doing things differently! We just posted an update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6u3nH-dpd2LpKc

I lost my wife (co-pilot) last year to cancer, so pulling the RV single without a good pair of eyes in the passenger seat is taking some getting used to. I really have to plan fuel stops far more carefully. Especially with a gas truck, I have to use the regular pumps. I have hit a few of the Pilot RV pump islands which are great when you can find them. Usually I'll Google Street View them first to make sure there is enough "swing" room to get in and out.

A LOT of people that have RV videos would rather DIE than post a video like this one! This is basically a home (I know that that rig was close to, if not, over $100k). So you basically totaled your house. This would be like someone wanting to save a buck cutting down a HUGE OAK TREE in their front yard but instead of calling a tree service to do it, YOU cut down the tree yourself...and had the tree come down on your house. My heart aches for you! Thirdly, as a "Paul" myself, this took on a personal meaning for me..lol. We are taking over my mother's 5th wheel in a few weeks in California and driving it back home to TN. The ONLY places that I will be stopping for gas will be Pilot/Flying J gas stations! I don't give 2 damns about price. Unlike you, Paul, I am not a "cheapskate" (however thank you for admitting that you are one..lol.) and I will gladly pay the higher price for convenience and knowing that I can pull in/out without a second thought. You are genuinely nice people and I am SO SORRY that this happened.

Thank you so very much for your kind words. Big hugs to you. Here’s our update: kzbin.info/www/bejne/iXWXd6CumL6pj7c

Was using our small class c as transportation, forgot to pull in the awning and ripped it off on a telephone pole. I was supportive. I think hahaha!

[@ask21900]

My first job as a truck driver I had safety director that gave me probably the best driving advice I've ever heard: Never get in a hurry to fall. It didn't hit home until I hit something and he asked me what happened. I thought for a second and said "well, I got in a hurry." You are absolutely right. When you are in a hurry to eat, in a hurry to get to bed, or for any other reason, you will make mistakes. Most of the time the best thing you can do is just slow down or stop.

[@LizAmazing]

Wise words there, David. We so appreciate having you on our team. Here is what happened next: kzbin.info/www/bejne/h6u3nH-dpd2LpKc

[@praniw]

I’ve experienced tremendous grief in my life. I’ve come to realize that property is fixable. So...you’ll take a break from the road. Consider alternate types of rigs. Enjoy being in one place awhile. Buying new bikes. Making lots of videos. Finding your way through this together. Just as Liz’s previous accident wasn’t the end of the world (nor was her broken hand)...you will get through this. In some ways better than before. Look for good things around you. Good people. Online support from those you have supported from afar. We got you. Relax.

[@Elizabeth-rq1vi]

Her broken hand led to being with this amazing man! Good things can happen out of bad things!

[@LizAmazing]

So appreciate both of you for your comments!! Appreciate your love and support and can feel it from here! Hugs right back to you both!!!

[@gretchenoppriecht3726]

Gotta love the kindness of strangers! Sorry this happened, but so nice to see folks helping each other.

[@QLFProductions]

I recently bought a 41 foot motorhome, it was only our second trip and I was backing into our spot and didn't see the guard pole and it smashed the back of the RV where the engine is and ruptured my coolant hose. Luckily the damage wasn't bad and I was able to replace the hose and refill the coolant myself. Could have been allot worse but I learned a valuable lesson about getting out and checking. Accidents happen to the best of us.

[@LizAmazing]

Wow. So sorry. Glad you got through that. Yep, from now on when maneuvering, the co-pilot gets out. Thanks for watching and happy camping.

[@elib7311]

The courage the two of you have to even live this kind of lifestyle. Look at it like this: as long as there aren’t boils and locusts, it’s all good.

[@LizAmazing]

Right? Now that's putting it in perspective! Thanks for your comment!

[@cindymaystitches]

I don’t think anyone thinks your a bonehead. I don’t think there’s anyone out there that lives full time in a trailer that hasn’t had something bad happen with their rig. Take it in stride, get it fixed and go on. You two are amazing! This is just another of life’s adventures!

[@LizAmazing]

Love your attitude, thanks so much!

[@rdmease]

I’m so sorry, but at the same time I thank you for having the courage to share your misfortune. For the longest I have been wanting to buy an RV and get out on the road. My gut has been telling me “the smaller, the better”. Now I’m listening!

[@timgoodsell4053]

You are so right. I’m in the market for a travel trailer and have set a max of 20 feet.

[@gailwagner8115]

We did a van for similar reasons as well as being able to fit in any grocery store, gas station, Park wherever.. we went with a 19 ft class b. Granted there's no wiggle room but we're loving it! ❤️

[@LizAmazing]

Yes. There's always going to be that balance: do you go small and nimble or do you have no compromise when parked? We agree we are a little on the big size. That just means we need to be more vigilant and focused when on the road. Learning! Congrats on you to be getting an RV and coming out here!

[@rdmease]

@@LizAmazing Each individual needs to assess their limitations. That may be different for each of us.

Even a smaller rv can have issues. We have a 23 ft, and my husband has managed to knock off our external step and cb antenna. Everyone makes mistakes.

I did this to my new fifth wheel three months ago. It happens and isn’t as bad to fix as I thought. Still waiting on the part but gorilla tape is an amazing thing!

Be aware not your surroundings at all times as much as possible. I drive semis, too. Nobody ever gave me crap for getting out and looking to make sure I wasn't going to hit anything.

[@sandygannon8552]

We did the same thing. Insurance paid for everything. We stayed in motel while they fixed it, everything is fine

Glad to hear you made it out the other side. We will have an update next week. Stay tuned.

So sorry Guys, things happen, sometimes to slow you down. Prayers

[@LizAmazing]

Yep. Stuff happens. The main thing is we still love each other! Thank you so much for your kindness.

[@omcbob37]

Stuff like this happens, but thankfully nobody was hurt and the damage can always be fixed. No matter how long you've been towing an RV and no matter how careful you drive, things can always happen. I once backed our rig into a large tree while backing into our RV parking space off my own driveway!

[@angiesparks4684]

Just came across your video. The best thing through all of this is that you are so supportive of each other. Accidents happen. You just learn from them. I’m betting accidents happen frequently, people just aren’t as brave to show the world what happened. Bless you both and I hope you are still RVing.

[@thequickbrownfox7289]

I understand how this can make you feel. Just remember - no one got hurt! Keep your heads up! I know you two have been considering changing your RV. Depending on what your insurance company and you settle for, this may be an opportunity to for you to rent some of the ones you have been considering for a week or so at a time to test them out. In the end, whatever you choose, please also consider adding several observation cameras! We just got a larger camper and one of the first things I did was add 2 side view and one rear facing camera (Haloview brand). Life is a gift :)

[@LizAmazing]

Yes! It may be a sign that we need a different rig. More cameras are also something we are talking about. AND traveling just far enough that we don't have to get fuel while our rig is hitched up. Thanks so much for your kind words!

Oh my gosh! That sounds serious. Thanks for sharing and for the love. See you Friday with an update.

[@pams5549]

I did the exact same thing! My van has been in the shop since July of this year!! Yes, and all the reasons you stated why this happened are true. I went to the nearest gas station instead of a gas station that I should have gone to. I was in a hurry, I was hungry, I was anxious. That cost my insurance company $14,000 and my rig MAY be out of the shop by February of next year. So basically my summer and fall travel was ruined. Hang in there and I hope you are able to get it fixed sooner.

Now I will not be letting my tiredness get the best of me and I will watch everything including Bridges, sharp swing turns, gas pump awnings, telephone pole wires which I did clip down that same day later... Now it is a actual job to watch every single thing including tires, brake controller, lights, "yeah I'm ready now That's for sure 😂, guy open up a new RV storage area but I was the first 5 wheel and I did not know that it was new, and they never had a fifth wheel in there yet which is higher than a travel trailer they already had, And I just got a note from storage owner today telling me that he called the telephone company and is having the telephone wires put up higher if they can, otherwise we will have to use a pole to hold them wires up when passing under. 😭😭 And thanks for sharing your video is very important for a lot of people, your video has definitely done good for many.

Once when pulling our travel trailer I came upon an accident. The road was going to be closed for hours and I was new to hauling it. I wasn’t comfortable backing in tight spots yet and there was a huge field to the right. The farmer bailing hay in the field said I was welcome to turn there. I didn’t take into account the height difference when I dropped off the road. When I went in I bent the right, front scissor Jack and when I came out I bent the left. 😢 it sucked but it could have been worse. I just smiled and drove on. I couldn’t fix it there so no need to stop and cry over it. I’ve since gotten better at backing and do pretty good for a woman. 😊

Love your attitude, Jennifer! Just gotta keep on keeping on! Happy and safe travels to you.

Sorry about that one guys. I'm 66yrs old. I have to do a triple take before pulling out of my driveway. It sucks!

Tail swing always scares me when I'm pulling out of gas stations, especially when they're busy and space is tight. And I totally understand being done. I'd just driven 1,200 miles in two days and I was about 20 miles from our destination when I had a back tire delaminate. The tread shredded and as the tread came off it grabbed the steel mud guards and bent it into the wheel so it was jammed. It was raining, the road was small and busy, the tire was on the roadside so I was laying in busy road, in the rain, trying to bend the mud guard out of what was remaining of the tire so I could limp to the destination with no tread. After about an hour I had a TOTAL sense of humor failure and was standing on the side of the road swearing at the coach "F*&^% THIS THING!!!!!!!!!" 😝
