I really hope it worked out for them??

Cheers

Every motorhome converters nightmare, that stage between finished and insured. The fact they had it up for sale means all their money is still tied up in a now damaged unit. If the roll on the side didn't do a lot of damage, the strap around the middle to pull it upright again seems to have inflicted a few injuries.

Who paints the top half of motorhome black in Aust? The weight of those 2 air con units on the roof would have assisted in roll over. That looks like quite a bit of damage up the right hand side.

i can only suppose that it was either a) left out of gear, or b) didn't have the handbrake on or c) both!!!

Yep,
I always leave ours in Park (when we had manuals, it was Reverse if pointing downhill and 1st if uphill).
Being based on a Yank chassis, the foot-operated 'hand'brake in current m/h is purely decorative.

Someone else may know but I'm suspecting it belongs to a person or company that imports & converts them for Australian sale & use.
If it was a private person I doubt it would have been displayed at the show?
Surprising how many accidents happen at boat ramps as well with forgetting hand brakes.

So that insurance ad is for real?
What about the dog with the remote locker?

Ahhhhhhhhh, I hated that ad! Ah A_____z, how can I help you?

Yep, greynomad, that ad is real. We live close to a busy boat ramp and the summer antics are always very entertaining. Usually, a mix of stoooopidity, inexperience and booze. Yes, cars and boats do end up in the drink often. It is amazing that more of them stay out of the water!

And here was I thinking, "NO-ONE could be that stupid. It's like letting your dog play with the remote locker while INSIDE the car! Duh!"
