Laura 17 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Ok that guy wins as The "Worst thing that can happen at check in" until now I think we held that title when we got locked out of our bus in the rain with a baby and my Mom and 10 Year old daughter stuck inside.

Laura 17 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 not really, a bolt came out inside the door so the door was unable to be opened from either the inside OR outside by her. The windows that open in our prevost are teeny, not to mention very high off the ground. They had to get us a ladder at check in for my DH to climb in through the kitchen window. He finally got in and was able to drive out of the way so more people could check in, and dismantled the lock in the overflow Parking lot with me following along outside with my baby. We were quite a sight :rofl3:Not fun. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

fortpartyof4 108 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Oh, man! Hope everyone is alright! I suppose it's better that it happened there rather than in one of the loops with all the trees (and campers!). Looks like it's sitting right about where the entry to the golf cart parking at the bus stop is? Where the horses cross for the trail rides? Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Millermouseketeers MaryAnn 150 Posted February 17, 2014 Report Share Posted February 17, 2014 Glad no one was hurt. The poor guy with the truck. Horrible thing to happen anytime but especially on vacation. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nutters4nutters 1 Posted February 18, 2014 Report Share Posted February 18, 2014 Amazing how fast a vehicle can go up, even when it's not a Tesla. I try to always roll with a Fire Extinguisher and basic safety kit. Even though, if mine caught on fire I think I would just try and step back and wait for the pros if there was nothing immediately around me that would be in danger. Fire + Flammable liquids scares the crap outta me. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
