Camping Saturday… Accident Edition.
Sorry folks, had set it up for publishing today and was tagged for tomorrow on Mothers day, this would not be a good post for that day.
All of these pictures I selected had deaths and serious traumatic injuries. I didn’t post them out of a macabrely sense of humor or fetish, but to illustrate how dangerous driving these vehicles are with no formal training. A novice gets an RV and think it is his or her Ford Escort car and how it handled. All these pictures were taken from several insurance web pages I found and explained that these people are not aware of their limitations and abilities to handle the weight and size of these vehicles. The web pages stressed that smaller cars are been used to tow trailers that are not designed to handle the stress of towing and braking. RVs are dangerous, especially if they are not properly maintained and repaired, driven safely and prudently.

Could GM’s Electric Tow Dolly Help Smaller Vehicles Drag Bigger Loads?
Putting a powered dolly between the tow vehicle and the trailer could provide a lot of benefits.
Some of us tow all the time—contractors, landscapers, vehicle transporters. For those folks, get a vehicle with the equipment to handle moving (and stopping) all that mass … pretty simple. For folks who only tow occasionally, the decision-making process gets a lot more complex. Maybe you’re towing a camper, say, four or five times a year? But you’ve got to size and equip the vehicle properly to do that, even though it’s not hauling a load the rest of the time. That means lots of underutilized miles, driving a heavier and less efficient vehicle than you need—or buying a separate commuter, but then one or the other is parked the majority of the time, too—inefficient in another way. I see this as a disaster waiting to happen, the tow vehicle is still too small to handle a large trailer and people can’t handle one pivot point and now have two? Back ups will be impossible. Fucking GM.
