Check this out!!!

Word is that it jumped out of gear while launching a boat.
I wonder if there is a bank awning down there as well!

Richard not to worry.. This is not a recent video. Its always a site to see an RV under water.. Thanks Steve for finding! Think there is another deep 6 MH video out there where boat and MH went in.

Should make a thread just posting videos of RV mishaps. Could be both entertaining as well as educational..

I believe he was told that was the safest way around the bank awning!

Three years ago I saw a 35' Class A up to the windows in Canyon Lake, Arizona, about 15 miles east of Apache Junction. He was launching a boat. I didn't have the heart to ask exactly what happened. I know a lot of folks launch with an RV, but I won't do it. You only have to make a mistake once.

My niece launched her new Grand Cherokee in '96. She was launching her boat when it slipped out of gear and got all the way under to the back of the roof. The engine was running and she had her mother stay in the car with her foot on the brake until she could get it towed. I told her to get rid of it since it would be problems but she got it fixed and drove it for another 125,000 miles with no problems.
