Old man drives his trailer into a narrow winding "small cars only" road and gets stuck

after passing the CLEAR sign, no trailers, rvs pass this point,,,, this old man drove his trailer into the windiest road ive been on... he passed through a tunnel where he tore off his accessories and now hes stuck on the side of the road and no one can get by,,, everyone got together and using bits of knowledge, experience and tools from each of these guys,, they finally pulled it off!!!!

I randomly came across your video watching "fail" funnies... THIS IS MY HUSBAND (the troll comments are HILARIOUS - keyboard quarterbacks. Over 30 years as a truck driver, equipment operator, and general engineering contractor came in handy!!). We tell this story to this day, about the trailer owner ripping off the AC shroud/awning off and then off the corner... You rock for catching this on video! WOW. A big thank you to the winch owner and the older gentleman who was also a life long truck driver (both from California like us I believe). Team work!

[@scwalker78]

He was probably flustered and not paying attention because he had just dragged part of the roof and the side off in that tunnel behind him. Poor guy. Glad people were there to help.

[@dandaniels4558]

Yeah it looked like the front air conditioner on the roof was missing .you don't just take a chance and drive thru a tunnel .you make sure the height at the highest point of the camper is atleast 3 inches lower than the lowest part if the tunnel. What a goober head

[@NightSailor]

To winch it sideways, you put dish soap under the trailer tires. They had some in the trailer for sure.

Glad to see it ended well. Most RVers, myself included, have fond themselves in a tight spot at sometime or other. Missing a warning sign or placing too much faith in their GPS has caused headaches for many travelers. Hats off to all those who helped this couple and for the patience the other people showed.

[@TomShaughnessy]

Quite a cast of characters. Shows there's still some good folks left . I feel for the guy though. It's be like having a wreck on your way to the airport to catch a flight to Disney.

This is why people need to have an endorsement on their license in order to pull these long camper trailers and RVs.

[@peterbroman6582]

Crazed Monk Don’t you need a upgraded licens in the US for towing theese trailers ?

[@trenton.tchannel1810]

Sorry i was distracted by that awesome Ram nice truck

[@markmitchell1290]

Actually the Ram truck did not actually accomplish anything. His winch was too weak to even move the suspension on that trailer. The only thing moving that trailer was the Chevy it was hitched too, and the Ford that pulled it off the corner with a chain.

[@rone7104]

Mark Mitchell The fault is with the idiot barking orders, winches are slow and will not keep up in that situation, they were not able to keep tension on the line.. They were actually very lucky, the winch could have done a lot of damage and if they had attached a tow strap to the trailer from the Ram they may have torn the trailer apart. RV trailers have very weak frames and everything above the frame isn't much stronger than paper. The guy barking orders was an idiot.

[@redneck19872020]

at least there is people in this world who still care enough to help someone out not to many would do that god bless them remember its better to give then receive (plus maybe some day u will be in his shoe's whether it be towing or just plain doing everyday things WE ALL GET OLD SOME TIME and make mistake's ALL HUMANS DO )

I feel compassion for this driver. How terrible. Thankfully nobody was hurt and this is a great example of teamwork. No angry mobs jeering at him for blocking the highway! Good job people. I don't think hauling a huge monstrosity like that is fun. I used to have a 26 foot 5th wheel but I kept it permanently parked by the Chama River in Colorado. Now I have a VERY small fiberglass RV and I love it! Bigger is not better! You don't need all of that space when you're on the road. Keep your footprint small folks!

8:50 The guy that "knew what he was doing" directed him right into the barrier and tore up his 5th wheel more; just because a person acts like they know what they're doing doesn't mean they do. Also there is alot of piss poor spotters that are just confusing the situation and not warning him he's about to gouge the barrier. In a situation like that it's better to take your time to plan and discuss a solution rather than just trusting the loudest voice to chose the right line. Make sure he knows what he's doing and don't trust his "credentials".

[@eddiemcars]

I noticed that. The driver of the 5th wheel had the wheels of the tow vehicle pointed in the wrong direction. Either he had no skill or the "expert" directing this told him the wrong thing.

[@nrgnovator2427]

@@jeffw7320 Not at all. Not an excuse. This guy gets NO benefit of the doubt. First of all, he should have been going REALLY SLOWLY there. And if there were an opposing car coming, he should have totally stopped and waited until he could swing over into the other lane, to safely negotiate the curve. Like black knight says above, the pickup driver absolutely did not judge his (safe) route around the curve. That said, the pickup driver already demonstrated his poor judgment and incompetence by passing through a tunnel that ripped off 2 rooftop A/C units and damaged his awning, after disregarding the CLEAR traffic restriction warning signs. NOTE: This comment is from a retired truck driver, so I'm NOT UNFAMILIAR with viewing the silliness (and worse) of drivers who have NO BUSINESS driving the vehicles they drive......

I think he impaled the 5er on the guard rail on the slideout. Another $10,000 of needless damage when all the driver had to do was unhitch the 5er and rehitch at an angle giving him the leverage to pull it back on the road. That guy is awesome?

And BTW, your patience with the inevitable comment trolls is commendable. On a side note, many years ago I worked with a guy who mentioned he went to truck driving school. I asked him what they teach you there. He said, "They told me one of the most important things is to read EVERY road sign." This is why.

[@persiancurly04]

:) not at all! honestly i didn't even think that anyone would be interested in this! im glad you enjoyed it:)) its a problem that is more common than we think... hopefully this video will remind rv drivers to read the sign before venturing out onto these roads!

[@Camperhollow]

Apparently the driver never made a wide turn around that bend. Granted he didn't heed the warning signs but even at that if he had stayed far enough to the left to make a wide turn it looks to me that he would have at least had a chance. From the position of that rig it looks like he tried to do it in the right lane which isn't going to happen on a bend that tight.If there are more bends ahead like that hopefully the driver will have the insight to navigate them properly.

I have lived and worked in the Black Hills for years and this is commonplace in the summer.

On highway 385 entering Deadwood Gulch is a VERY long steep grade with huge signs at the top warning large vehicles to start down the grade at 10 mph and everyday these fools will just keep going 65 mph. They don't know what the runaway pits are for and just keep going faster and faster.
