Towing a car behind a motorhome is a piece of cake. Except when you get yourself down a dead end street with no way to turn around. We have been in this predicament 3 times in the last 6 years and today was the third. The gas station I wanted to get into was on the opposite side of the road and there was a center island stopping me from pulling into it. So I figured I would go around the block and approach it from the other angle. All was well until I pulled down a street and saw the “No Through Street” sign. No problem I thought, there must be a parking lot or something I can swing through. Then I came to the end of the road. We’re stuck, I said. So I put it in park, jumped out, unhooked the car, turned the motorhome around, and re-hooked the car. Took me less than 5 minutes, just a minor setback.
Our travel today was about an hour. We were going to travel further today but the NASCAR race started at 10:00 so we made it to the Santa Barbara Elks Lodge at a little after 10:00. This will be another one nighter.
I have a fear of that very thing happening and I know one day it will. I have been thinking about getting a Orange flag and keeping it in the MH just in case Shelia has to stop traffic. LoL... I missed the race (saw the last 15 laps) Dang-it.
