    I don't understand why you rent an RV then a rent a cabin in the mountains and try to park in those crazy driveways. Maybe tow a car behind the RV and then drive the car to the rental cabin.... Jeff and Kristen, another great video. Thanks Kendra as well. Stay safe. 🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️

    I worked for U-Haul for many years and have an extensive amount of towing knowledge and experience. Whoever set him up with that set-up for a drawbar and ball wasn’t experienced or didn’t care to do it right. They should have asked some questions then sold him an extended drawbar, and flipped it upside down, then mounted the ball on a rise. Then he wouldn’t be into the ground with any of it.

    Hey Geoff, as you know I myself MA Towing, and Recovery OPERATOR I always look forward to your own perspective on how you’re going to handle each recovery. So that said, but this particular recovery that you have done it has come to my attention that I really think you should Get yourself involved in some type of training courses for those that interested in becoming a Towing and Recovery operator! Because you, my dear friend, are extremely very well at describing each, and every single small detail with every detail that is needed for a successful recovery to be done safely and professionally as you show in each, and every single video with you guys! I always look forward to your video as I continue to recover from my near fatal , massive stroke. Be safe out there!

      I had a head ache for holding my breath for so long. Jeff and Kristen , you are the best in your class. God Bless you both. I just love how you both communicate and work so well together. 🫶🫶😇🙏❤️😇🙏🇺🇸

    Made the mistake once of disconnecting a small U-Haul trailer like that from a SUV. The trailer wasn't loaded "that heavy" but man that tongue weight was more than two of us could handle...! Found a neighbor with a dolly jack like you used and lifted it that way. Never again..! Wow!

  • @MsFlyonwall
    @MsFlyonwall 9 месяцев назад +2

    Hi Jeff, I use to work at UHaul I know for sure that the safety chains are supposed to be crossed. Right side to left and left to right to the towing vehicle. That is just in case the trailer comes detached from the ball the tongue of the trailer is held up from going nose down into the ground. It is just a safety issue. Not telling you how to do things😊. LOL Love watching you and Kristen. Like you say if your in Gatlinburg if your not paying to park, your doing something wrong! Love you guys! Please be safe!

  • @jimwile9313

    I am so favorably impressed with how clean and shiny you keep Mighty Lil' Blackie. Everything from Blackie's windshield, gleaming silver wheels and truck bed, and ebony paint all look great. What's more is how nice you keep all of your rigging and equipment. That covered blue and black wheel strap (?) from Bailey's looks brand new. Your jack is kept so clean with that custom cover designed and sewn my Kristen. Very professional, EA ! You put the other tow companies out there to shame by comparison.

    I stay very clear of motorhomes that say "Cruise America" on them. I am grateful that they mark them so well - not sure if this is to help warn the public that there is a rookie driver at the wheel or to advertise their brand. Did you check inside the trailer to see if they had any 55 gallon drums of Heroin suspended in liquids? Here in Oregon the cops found a U-Haul truck with an amazing payload of such.

    I watched your video talking about fixing your VW. My ex and I had one . I loved it except the heat is air movement. If you had to stop in cold weather, the air wasn't moving through the radiator . This caused the windshield to fog up. By the time the light turns green, they were so fogged up that you could hardly see. I recommend you have an alternate defrost source.
