Me too and I felt it was a good idea...on paper. One year we were leaving Bowling Green for Indy. The highway was stop and go for miles. Accident or something with no place to pull off and I was about to wet myself.

My wife was sitting beside me and I convinced her to do a Dukes of Hazzard switch over while I went back to the bathroom. It was an emergency. She is from Peru and I used what little Spanish/English to convince her it was no big deal. She may not even move or at the most it would be a few feet or so. She bought into it.

Switch was made and I boogied back to the bathroom. No problem so far, but then I felt the RV start to move forward. Braced myself just in case and for good reason. I could hear the engine start to roar....then a gearshift. Then another and another.

She had way more confidence than I thought she should have and my anxiety level was on the chip. I scooted back up front or levitated. Not sure which because it was all a blur when our collective lives were flashing in front of my eyes.

Oh lord give me the ability to muster up what Spanish I could to have her ease it back down gently with trailer intact and pull to the side of the road for a safe exchange back. There must be a higher power or one with a sense of humor because it all worked out.

Si pues. My Spanish has improved quite a bit over the last 6 years or so. I am now at the level to where I can argue with her and compliment myself.

Seem to be stuck there.

Our motorhome has a 100 gallon tank, don't think I'd last that long.

Our first trip to Bowling Green was one I'll never forget. I still chuckle. We arrived late, 10 or 11 ish. Johns dog, Renzie had to go to the bathroom real bad... She was paceing around in our little motorhome, all 22 feet of it, and Renzie's 80 lbs. Doberman Pincher's body was hard to manage. We came to a stop right across from the main bath houses. If you have never been to Bowling Green, their bathroom/shower rooms are top notch. Amy opened the side door and Renzie darted out...like a rocket. Amy freaked as the dog disappeared into the darkness of the pit area. Amazingingly, the big black Dobe came RUNNING back ( that didn't usually happen).It took all of one seconded to realize why....She had been sprayed right in the face by a skunk. She didn't like it any more than we did, and panic quickly hit the Wanger camp. What the heck do we do now! Somebody said, "There's a bathhouse right here ! Lets take her in there." So we drag poor old Renze in the bathhouse for a cleanup. I wasn't in on the action, but I'm told it was quite the scene in there, and LOUD. What they didn't realize, someone was down in one of the stalls taking a nice late night shower. None other than our RFC Preacher. He couldn't see what was going on, only hear it. Afterwards he said when he heard all that racket, and a women's voice, along with that smell, " I'd never been around a women that smelled like that ." LOL LOL
