Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted September 16, 2012 Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I drove my new (to me) motor home to the Fort and back! It handled like a charm & was fun to drive. I even went through 2 rain showers and a lot of wind. I'm good to go & can even back up with no help and no spotter!! YaY :jumpforjoy !!! PureTcrazy...rita 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted September 16, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 16, 2012 I have a few things that need sprucing & then will post pictures. I have ressies for 10/4-10/16 but am not staying that long. Not sure yet which weekend we are going - but I'll be sure to post it!! We are aiming for our old one weekend a month routine.I also want to go to St. Mary's, Ga. I came across a KOA website for that area & it looks really cool. It's about 3.5 hours from my home.

Lou... 3,118 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I'm good to go & can even back up with no help and no spotter!As you drove your MH, I would think that driving your new one should be easy for you.But anyone can back up, it's the not hitting anything part that's the problem.

mommy rainbo.....Bo 41 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Great to hear everything went well. Can't wait for pictures. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Onkel Hans 25 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 That raises an interesting question...do Disney buses have back up cameras?And do they have back-up back up cameras in case the back up cameras are not working? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Lou... 3,118 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 That raises an interesting question...do Disney buses have back up cameras?Back up cameras on Disney buses are not needed as they're never, never, ever supposed to back up unless there is a spotter. Load zones are designed so that buses don't have to back up. On those very rare occasions when it's necessary and there isn't anyone to spot, drivers better be really sure that there is nothing behind them. When it does happen, it's usually just a few feet. In five years, I've backed up about a total of about 10' without a spotter.I had one in our MH and found it to be of little help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
CCIntrigue...aka Gwen 547 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I had one in our MH and found it to be of little help.It especially doesn't help if you don't look at it! David has one in his CR-V but refuses to use it. But he does use the one on the moho -- mainly to check the status of whatever we're towing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

ftwildernessguy 778 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 I have one on my truck which makes hooking up the trailer without a helper much easier. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Otter Spotter aka Debbie 58 Posted September 17, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 The back-up camera on my Mariner & Rick's Edge are a heck of a lot clearer than any MH back-up camera I've seen. Why is that? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
stefa70 205 Posted September 17, 2012 Report Share Posted September 17, 2012 Atta girl Deb! I bet driving a "debt free" MH was even better!We want to see pics. :jumpforjoy Quote Link to post Share on other sites
