[QUOTE="MO_cows, post: 808434, member: 9169"] Thank you for cowboying up and admitting it for our amusement! You told the story well. I can't back up a trailer very well to save my life, and I have just gotten over being embarassed about it. But my biggest embarassment pulling a trailer came courtesy of my better half. We had a little 10 foot utility trailer up at the lake with us for a kiddie hayride on a Halloween camping trip. When we headed out for home, I ended up driving our motor home, and doofus, I mean dearly beloved, changed the trailer from his pickup to the motor home. He had to swap the receivers too. So off I go, but when I got out of the camping loop and up to about 20 mph all of a sudden there was this horrible noise behind me. The motor home is wider than the trailer, couldn't see squat, so just hit the brakes. Then something rear-ended me. It was the trailer, because dearly beloved forgot to install the pin that holds the receiver in. Tore quite a groove in the blacktop dragging the tongue of the trailer with the safety chains. And it put a big dent in the back of the RV when it hit me. And EVERYBODY in the whole dang campground came out to gawk. And thought I did it to myself. Grrrrrrrrrr. [/QUOTE]
