You've got to be pretty stupid to do something like that, and I know because I did it twice! I did it with my first motorhome and only bent the ladder. I did it with my second motorhome and damaged the ladder and rear cap as well as the soffit and facia on the house. Motorhome #3 gets driven in foreward. No more backing in the driveway. This has beem mandated in no uncertain terms by DW.

I took out my own mailbox the very first trip. I Pulled away to sharp from the curb and the back end came in too far and that's all she wrote for that mailbox

Ah it could be worse.. When last I was in Vegas a very nice couple flew into town, the dealer picked 'em up and delivered a brand new Class C
They parked it next to me (no damage there)
Took it to Sam's for dinner.. Pulled into the garage (The sign said they had the clearance,,, and so they did,, The sign, however, hangs lower than the allowed height)
The sign,which is a pipe hanging on chains, caught the rig right under the "Flying saucer" style tv antenna, ripped it off the roof then flew up and came down on top of the bathroom vent cover smashing it
OUCH

I'm sure you checked where the ladder attaches to the roof and side, to be sure no damage? Just checking.

Hit a Stop Sign doing a 37 point turn ($637) Tree branches, Snow Bank, Guard Rail ($2100) lucky they were all on the same side. Also paid $200 for driving lessons... lot of good they did.
