Motorhome RV Mud Bogging motor home Offroad at Lake Powell - Motorhome Home Saved by a Ford Truck!!

[@AnthonyDiSano]

Anybody that does any serious RV'n knows that stuff like this happens all the time. Getting to and from that ultimate camping / boondocking spot is half the fun and usually worth the effort. The one good thing is you'll always find somebody in the RV community willing to lend a hand. (And these days someone with a camera who'll have the video uploaded to KZbin before you pull out of the trail head) :)

[@sarahsokolov6347]

water levels at lake powell routinely change 8" to 9" a day during spring runoff. his camping spot and entry location was likely high & dry and far from water when he arrived. water levels could easily have risen 5 feet during a camping trip.

Awesome, love to see people living it up. Its his motorhome, he bought, can do what he wants w/ it. All the people crossing there for fun during weekend, chum it all up and make it harder to pass. Probably went across first time w/ ease. Good thing they left when a big crowd was still there, better chance of people willing to help.

Maybe he was back there camping and the lake level rose, then he had to get out or be trapped until the lake dropped, if you noticed there are other campers/motorhomes on the side he is trying to get to. 0:45 shows a few, and many more people on that side.

To be clear, you may get away with not hydrolocking it once or twice or more, but if you submerge your exhaust enough times & shut off- especially with a diesel- it can & will suck up water. Again, stacks & snorkles. We learned the hard way north of Hoa Lien in 1968 when a deuce and a half hydro'd on us crossing a river in monsoon season. One last high rev attempt to cross the river, we rolled back, the driver killed the ignition and it kept dieseling- hydrolock.

+Steven Kirby Just depends on what you want, 5th wheels are the largest, but you can tow your vehicle with a class A. It's nice to not need to exit the rig to use the potty, and for me the class A was the best thing I could find for the money. Class A's usually have more built in goodies, like a generator and underbelly storage bays, but they do have their drawbacks like if they break down the tow bills are high because it takes a commercial truck wrecker to move them or sometimes even a lowboy and semi.

Not as stupid as it seems. He had thought it out before he attempted it. He hit it on the right angle, he had his revs up, he didn't spin his wheels, didn't turn off his engine and he had an F250 waiting with a snatch strap incase he didn't make it. I live in Outback Queensland, Australia. Remote Four wheel driving is a necessary way of life for me. Those of you automatically calling him an idiot only do so because you don't know shit. lol. He was stuck, had his own reasons for not being able to wait and planned it properly. I have no problem here beyond the fact he parked it up there in the first place.

[@calibermoon]

Mud bogging? I call it Mind Boggling! Anyone with an obvious $50000-$75000+ motorhome that would even attempt this deserves scrutiny. Sitting in that water even for a few minutes, is the equivalent of a house being flooded. Tanks and hoses corrode, wood floors will get soft and rot, and the metal undercarriage will start to rust eventually. So stupid, when he could have easily drove around. This just pisses me off to no end when people who have things I have dreamed of all my life, just treat them like Tonka toys.

He didn't sit there spinning the tires like some stupid people would have, if you look at the tires on the motor home when he comes out you will see that there was probably only about 3 inches of mud on the bottom.
