Couple weeks ago an elderly gentlemen behind us in a big MH decided to take a short cut across the grass rather then pulling out of his site like he should have. Of course it sunk in the mud. We had a ring side seat as we watched him and a couple others try to get it unstuck. First they unhook the VW Beetle they were towing and tried again, only managing to sink deeper in the sand. Then they decided to try and lift the coach with the jacks, and put boards under the tires. This was working pretty well as they got blocks under one side, and had just finished getting blocks under the other. In his haste to get out however, he forgot to raise the jacks. The loud pop we heard was one of his rear jacks breaking off. The next 30 mins was spent trying to retrieve the broken jack from the mud and secure it so he could move. Finally without fanfare he was able to pull out. When they asked him why he had done what he had, his reply was "I didn't think I could make the turn with the car hooked up". When asked why he didn't unhook the car, his reply "It doesn't run because the motor locked up and I think the transmission's gone. I'm embarrassed to say, but I forgot to take it out of 1st gear and towed it down the interstate."
The neighbors and I were still laughing about it the next day, when we notice another big MH attempting to leave the park with the passenger side slide still out. Luckily they caught him just before he got on the highway.
Must have been some kind of crazy moon that week.
