Thanks for your videos! We are retired and RVers now. In the 1980s I was a long haul truck driver. Similar experience, I turned down a nice newly blacktopped road. A couple miles and it was a single lane gravel road. About 10 miles in I came to a bridge that stated 2 ton limit. My rig weighed nearly 40 tons. My only choice was to backup! I kept looking for a place to turn around but the ditches were deep and the road was narrow. Shining a flashlight out the drivers window, I backed all the way out that road! I've told this story many times! I was always good a backing anything but I tell people I learned how to backup a Semi Rig that night!

Good job Brian. You kept your cool. The washboard road brought back a FedEx memory. I used to deliver down those washboard roads and I thought my truck was going to fall apart. It would take me 30 minutes to deliver a package. OMG. Then UPS would zip right by me at full speed a loose me in the dust. He'd say to me go fast and ride above the grid. Yeah Right. I told him listen buddy. You work for UPS and that truck is not use. So why should you care. Where me I am a independent contractor for Fedex Ground and that truck is mine and the repairs are mine.

When I saw that this vid was just released like 4 hours ago or something like that and already had a "thumbs down". I couldn't understand that. WHAT? Then I got hit with several Monetization ads. Personally I hate those things and usually sign off. I thought, "ah ah"...that's probably where the thumbs down came from. But I stuck in there. BTW...our coach is almost like yours.

Having been single more than I've been coupled up or married and having worked alone for nearly 20 years, I always had figure out how to do things alone without any help. I'm surprisingly successful at this 94.6% of the time. The other 5.4% of the time.... I just gotta have help. I now have the most wonderful immigrant wife that practically lives to help me. So, I've been teaching her how to help guide me while maneuvering and backing up the RV, boat etc. I am teaching her hand signals (important even without a language barrier), what to watch for, where to stand so she can see me in the mirrors and looking up down and all around for hazards. We're experimenting with a couple of small hand held radios to assist us as necessary. As a man and a pilot for 40 years I understand that sometimes (translation: 94.6% of the time) I am stubborn, determined and get a "I'll do it my damn self" attitude instead of asking for help as a good pilot should do. She's still learning these things and is helpful. I guess the moral to the story is that sometimes we need to swallow our pride and ask our wives for help so we can blame th.......I mean, so we don't get ourselves in a jam. "I'm a man and I can change.....if I have to.......I guess."

Found ourselves in a right pickle in late 90's, with quite the audience watching on as got stuck in Santa Cruz where we should never of been in huge 5er and truck = young invincible newbies back then LOL. Had to back up real curvy, steep area we'd come down to park where it was full to the brim with others, hubby was not happy with my directions! Ho hum, lesson learned. Are you currently off FR300 close to the rim (about 10miles in?). Hope the known wind isn't too rough for your visit and be sure to keep your eyes peeled for fossil seashells = weird to see thousands of feet above sea level today, but helps you imagine many years ago what the area might have been like. FWIW, we love to boondock/disperse camp by choice but often google for reviews of our next wilderness plan to see what others have to say but also check out satellite/google earth views as much as possible to see where potential turnarounds are = 2003 38ft Class A, particularly do when going onto non-paved roads.

On our last trip we were going through Nebraska, raining so hard that I’ve ever driven the truck and trailer in since we started RVing and while on I80 we decided to get off the I80 to use our trailers restroom. (I hate stopping on the side of a freeway, especially in pouring rain) I make a turn off the 2 lane paved road onto a road base gravel road to stop (not enough space to get off the two lane road) I see that ahead there are silos that must have gravel to turn around on so off we go. About 200 yards the road becomes so muddy that the rear of the truck is spinning through the road base gravel and into the mud. I shift into 4 wheel high and keep going to the turn around by the silos as this is a single lane road. We get about 100 yards from the silos and they are in the dirt (which is mud now with all this rain) 😳 we don’t have room to turn our 23 foot trailer and truck around. The road has such a crown on it that if I don’t stay right in the middle, I’ll go right into the ditch. We back up for almost 3/4 of a mile on this now muddy road which took us almost 40 minutes to get back to the paved road. Every so often, the trailer would get off the crown heading to the ditch so I would have to straighten it out. All in driving rain.... 🥴 The sad thing is my wife said for us to back up onto the road with maybe 50 feet but I said that I’d rather turn around at those silos... 🙄🙄 Lesson learned.... we arrived after dark in Sioux City and set up camp in the rain. After 550 miles and almost 11 hours, I slept well that night. Nothing harmed or damaged so we learn and go on. Thanks for the video! That road sure looked bumpy.. Take care, Bill

Now that I know you are a pilot like me I can suggest perhaps it was a case of “gethomeitis “? Always trust your instruments, keep your situational awareness and above all, relax and figure it out.

Keep sharing we all learn. I would love to know where you guys on boondock as we are going to be hitting the road. But of course after you have left so as not to have people show up. And we have a 34 foot and need to find roads we can Tavel on that are not like this one. Thank you for sharing your lives.

Hi Denise. We've traveled thousands of mile of roads. Both paved and unpaved. Some of the worst roads we've been on have been paved! LOL! Thanks for watching!

I look at the situation you were in as a learning experience. In 30 years from now you will look back and laugh about it. It wouldn’t be memorable if you didn’t have this problem.

Wow! We just experienced the same type of insanity the past few days.Our very first trip. Those washboard roads are exhausting. And attempting to turn around on a rough mountain side road is umm impossible! 😭 We drove so many extra miles on crazy bumpy roads extending miles, time, effort and gas. Ugh. I noticed the blm locations tend to have those rough roads, though beautiful maybe that's a sort of payment after all. lol!😀

My heart literally dropped when I saw your Class A in that rut! Have you guys thought about getting a 5th wheel since you boon-dock so much? We boon-dock exclusively and go places I would be concerned taking a Class A. Just wondering.
@LyfUninterrupted4 жыл бұрын
Hi Connie! Yeah, so did mine! As for a 5th wheel...we certainly do like the roominess, but they just don't fit our style right now. Perhaps at some point in the future though. Luckily we've been able to get our coach into some of the same areas we see 5th wheels in. Thanks for watching!

Did you try using your Jack's to get you out of that jam? I've done that with mine when I got high-centered on a steep gas station ramp in Virginia.
@LyfUninterrupted4 жыл бұрын
No, I didn’t try using the jacks. Great suggestion though! They were kinda jammed up so I didn’t want to do any more damage if they were already damaged. Luckily they were fine upon inspection.
