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.
