    I dont know why they were worried about the holding tanks they were all closed and the vents were still above water.
    Poor lady driving the rig, I wonder if the motor was off, and it lost its vacume on the brakes vacume resavors.

    Can't imagine what I would have said watching my coach roll backwards into the water. Maybe she backed in too far, killed the engine and somehow lost all reserve air pressure to apply the brakes. Should have been enough air to engage the park brake or it should have automatically kicked in when air pressure dropped below 65 psi.

    I would be a VERY unhappy camper!

    That's a good one............Danpaine.

    I know that I would be having a massive coronary if my coach rolled back into the water. WOW!

    Actually, this is why we DON"T launch with our mh.

    That’s baaaaaaaad. Their insurance company isn’t going to be very happy with them!

    Notice it’s a diesel… the front axle’s set too far back to be a gasser. Add yet another $10,000 ~ $15,000 for an engine overhaul.

    Also notice the rear tire’s squishiness. There must’ve been another 5 or 10 tons of water weight in it while it sat on the ramp.

    I guess it’s a good argument against launching boats with a motorhome.
