Was it a gang of trees or a lone wolf. Not sure which I trust less.

It only takes one rogue tree to make them all look bad!

Trees can be your friends, you just need to talk to them nicely!!!

Yeah I've been in some pretty tight spaces but it helps to have an awesome DW as a spotter The first year that we owned our old 33ft TT I about wiped out the rear tail section when I swung the rear around pulling out of a tight spot. DW said I was less then an inch from smashing the tree!

I feel your pain, I have backed trailers since I was 16 years old and hit my first object last month. Yup, twas a tree. New roof being installed in September. My own fault, DW was watching but I blame myself because I knew that I should have gotten out and looked.

On my "ouch". The panel is siliconed to the end cap. That seal is broken. Should I add silicone and seal up the hole? It will be a while before repair.

DW doesn't spot me, only if there is a tree centered in the back of the space, her job is to keep clueless kids on bikes out from behind the 5er.
Hitting the driveway, and placing is site is my responsibility! We have been married 44 years, these cuts down on the disagreements.

Watched a guy take out the entire top right side of his roof on a leaning tree. Got the awning as well. I felt horrible for him. Unfortunately, I was screaming STOP in my truck and he couldn't hear me...

Re: Got away from me!
Finally got an estimate. 1000 to fix the end cap and 1600 for the rest.

Re: Got away from me!
If that outlaw tree was on my property it would soon be firewood!
