I must admit when backing in our Drive Rosie does have a habit of telling me to turn and gets most anoyed when I dont......then I explain in a calm controlled shout that if i do turn we wont have a front on the coach but a tree where it used to be other than that not a problem.

It is very dificult to be a good banksman as you must have some sort of an idea of driving the vehicle you are directing and remember it has a front as well as a back and know where both are going.

All the best Rick

Must admit Ruth is a great help to me when I'm parking the RV.

She usually takes her self off some where until it's done.... that way it gets parked up quicker and safer

Default Some questions guys..

Q1: Have you not seen Rosemary Conley's RV Backup Workout DVD?


Q2: Do you not know how many calories are burned during this process?


Q3: Do you think that we want to be helping you at all?


Q4: Do you the RV ALWAYS because you fear we may actually be quite good at it?


Q5: Do you know what we're actually thinking as we smile at you on that re-manouvre because you ignored us?


Q6: Do you want to know?


Q7: Do you admit that you SOMETIMES take a tone with us that you would not use on any other man, woman or beast?


Q8: Do you know that with a walkie talkie the silence is positively golden when you just hold the button in?


Q9: Do you know that we try very hard because we would much rather be boiling the kettle than standing in the p*&&ing down rain?


Q10: Do you know that we suffer this time & time again because we love you and still have faith that maybe NEXT time you'll get it right first time?


Much love my boys
xxxx

Default What a cracking Post Larry.............

I usually say to Ci sit still in the warmth of the Rv whilst I do my manouvering bit,I've got the side and reversing cameras to assist me but I'm not that daft that if I'm in doubt I ask her to watch one side or another.They are specific instructions thoughWe don't want to overload them too much do we gents ?
I'm soooooo glad Ci is in bed and won't read this.

My wife thinks my Mondeo Estate is too big so you can imagine what it's like, the few times I have n our vehicle so far. Hearing "Oh my god we're going to crash" several hundred times can get quite unnerving. If our parrot catches on I'll go nuts!
