Food For Thought

I'd suspect that like me, everyone else is concerned with "sports car drivers" (and all of those with a cell phone in their hand) who simply don't realize how dangerous their "driving skills" can be when they're "right on our butt" behind our trailer, where we can't see them and they can't stop if something happens and we have to brake suddenly.

This guy may have devised the "perfect approach" to prevent tailgating.....

It's not mine, I ran across it on a website, but WOW, the message he's sending !!!!!

We could have "almost had that recipe" if I could have found a "sloshing black tank, spilling contents" that was "welded to (or tied to) the rear bumper"

Few years ago saw a license plate frame on a new car that read "The last tailgater bought me this car".

Great idea. It seems if I let the FW tank fill too long it will leak out the vent for a little while. That helps too. Nobody knows is just water.

The moderators of this forum would like to remind its members that welding directly to the factory installed paper thin bumper is not recommended. Instead, weld an extrusion directly to the frame to hold the monkey wrench. This will prevent the loss of your black tank drain hose. Thank you.

LOL!

When I am in slow traffic everyone behind you assumes its me that is slow since I am pulling a big RV. I take my time driving but try make the most out of gas stops, a bathroom and meal all in a quick stop.

Maybe I should put my old bike on the bike rack where its secure put loose and crooked, that might keep them back too.
