What’s the worst thing that’s happened to you on the
road? Excuse me if I don’t believe that everything has
gone swimmingly. Because when it comes to RVing,
things happen.

I’m going to be brutally honest about something I’d rather
forget. About 10 years ago, I was towing a pop-top around
Coffs Harbour, looking for a place to park, as part of my
review of that van for a major national magazine that I
used to manage.

All possible parking spaces were taken, so I started
poking down side streets, intending to pull up alongside
someone’s nature strip. I found a suitable prospect
and proceeded to pilot the vehicle and van to the kerb.
Suddenly, I felt a tug on the towball and heard a loud
screech.

Heart pounding, stomach dropping, I climbed out to find
the barrel of the awning on the nature strip, having been
torn off the side of the van. The awning arms were clinging
to the cladding for dear life.
Immediately, I saw the problem. As I’d pulled in, the
awning barrel had caught a solid overhead branch, the
screws retaining the awning at the top of the van tearing
jagged lines through the thin cladding.
I learned a valuable lesson that day: when towing a van,
don’t just look side to side. Look up, too.
