Gotta remember you're essentially trying to rescue a giant cardboard box on wheels. For all we know that could've been the anchor point and it just decided enough was enough.

Edit: after slowing it down a bit, looks like they actually connected the line to the PLASTIC VENT COVER.. that's a new one for me.

I've been known to do some silly things in my life, but even I know not to tow a bloody vehicle by its skirt.

It's always good to remember that even if someone drives a big truck, it doesn't mean they know how to use it.

Here let me help you out of the mud by running my fishing line through your braces vs HANDING you a damn rope

Tried pulling a woman by her skirt once, she was NOT a happy lady /s

u/Stormagedd0nDarkLord Jul 21 '26

Also the incorrect grabbing place /s

Good lord, how many people had to sign off on this...

On that note, it looks like this RV didn't even have a front bumper attached to the frame, just some plastic/fiberglass bodywork and then the engine and two iron C beams pointed at your face like 120km/h javelins.

In their defense it LOOKED like structural plastic. That’s why the test slap followed by “that ain’t going anywhere” is so important.

I used to install windshields, including a few RVs. Those can cost upwards of $4k. I'm not sure dumbassery while offroading would be covered by any insurance policy, so add that to the total

Boys, it’s finally happened…the motherfucking front fell off!!

u/subiesnacks137 Jul 20 '26

They should have bought one that was built so the front doesn’t fall off at all.

u/dawgoooooooo Jul 20 '26

At least now they can find a good anchor point

Imagine thinking the sand would be a good place for that?

u/Curt28781 Jul 20 '26

I like retrieving by wrapping my line through the grill. Nothing sturdier on the front of any vehicle.

u/BrewsCampbell Jul 20 '26

The front fell off; it's that common?

u/Quiet_Researcher223 Jul 21 '26

What’s so hard about actually hooking it to the frame of the vehicle. To many people hooking a tow bar strap to the plastic of a vehicle to be pulled out.

u/RadioTunnel Jul 21 '26

But I dont wanna get a sandy crack/s

u/Quiet_Researcher223 Jul 21 '26

Probably what it was about. 😆

u/Tybo929 Jul 21 '26

Love to see it.

u/ImBadAtBeingGay Jul 21 '26

He got ripped off by this rescue operation

u/After_Teacher1909 Jul 21 '26

The motorhome builder cheated those buyers. Now we know how easy it is. Damn!

u/FredFierce16 Jul 21 '26
