I'm thinking a list won't help.....
But just in case, what number on that check off list of things you MUST do before you tow.....
Would you suggest moving all the slides in?

That’d be interesting going through some of the rv park gates I’ve been through. A good example of know how manual overrides work. Then again, he got the jacks up, must have the valves shut off on the slides.

That makes a good argument for "why not level with the slides out?".
Hopefully there's an issue with the slides? If not they must never look in the mirrors!

They can't put the slides in......the kids are back there playing video games on the TV and the wife is taking an afternoon nap!

Perhaps his mirrors fell off? Did you take that picture Eddie?

No way do you move a trailer in such a condition.... no way.
Illegal as heck, width wise.
Of note, I did NOT see this myself, so is it photoshopped?
I dunno.
I have a very hard time thinking folks are that stupid, but then again I look at the whoppers politicians and the media tell, and well, you fill in the rest

I don’t know if it’s photo shopped or not, those shadows look pretty convincing. I’ve seen a video of someone towing down the shoulder with a slide open.

I believe those slides are open. How, why I guess we will never know. I can't start to imagine why - that appears to be a freeway. I will say I have twice (that I recall) seen RVs with slides deployed hit a state/federal highway. One I don't know why and the other knew but didn't care - and both only had a slide on one side.

Why move all that stuff to pull the slides in? It's only 50 miles to the next campground and at 80 mph that's only 45 min. away. Besides, I use the review camera 'cause I can't see the sides anyway in my Tundra's mirrors......

He's got the optional Furrion S side and rear camera system. Don't need no stinkin' mirrors on his Tundra.....

Only if the side cameras are mounted on the slide outs.
