Hi, Everybody!!!

Wow Marilyn...that's a pretty big rv to tackle but I'm sure you girls will be just fine. Like ya said..take it slow. If the turns are nice and wide, she shouldn't have a problem. Hopefully there won't be alot of traffic where you are going that day. I personally think that a sign like that is a very good idea.

I will say a prayer for you girls. Be safe and check in as soon as you can.

Wow....that's scary to think of hitching up a fifth wheel and driving it somewhere by yourself!!! Does the "friend" know how to do that sort of thing? I'll be praying that all goes well for you!!! Give us a reminder when it's coming up.

I know you two will be able to do it. If I can pull 52-72 foot trailers and back them up to a dock to be loaded you all will be just fine. I did this when I worked at Frito Lay. The two of you will certainly have an adventure.

We'll have Rex on the phone with us, I'm sure. He'll be telling us every move!!

I'm looking forward to seeing where she is living, even if it's brief since we will be leaving as soon as the RV is settled. Flying in by plane one day and heading home by Jeep Grand Cherokee the next!!! The only thing that is putting some trepidation on the trip is moving the RV. Will be so glad when it's in place!!!

Janet, we have freight trucks delivering and picking up at work every day. There is no way that I can imagine driving one of those rigs and backing into a dock. I have enough trouble with my crew cab pickup truck!!! Rex drives an F350 diesel crew cab, long bed truck and he has problems maneuvering it in parking lots.

I like being up high in vehicles and the extra metal around on the highway, but hate moving them in tight spaces.

I have a story to tell.... LOL. When I worked at Frito Lay and was working in the lot I needed to get a trailer and back it to the dock to be loaded. When I pulled around the lot I saw the manager from the traffic dept. there with about 7 guys. They were new drivers and he was showing them around. When I pulled up, I heard him say "now watch how she does this" and my heart dropped.

All I could think of to say is "please God, don't let me make a fool of myself." Well I did my manuever and backed it right to the dock in the first try. Usually it took a couple times to get it good and straight, but this time....I nailed it first time. Of couse I said "Thank You God", I sure felt like something that day....roflmbo!!!!
