Rear RV Swing - Watchout

 Try mountain biking, those pesky trees are always trying to jump out in front of me, but I am usually to fast and avoid them (usually).

Originally posted by rawest50 This happened on the opposite side of his turn. Turned right deep and hit the back left corner. Did not turn right and hit the right side.

Right. He wasn't talking about a clipped corner, he was talking about the opposite side swinging out at the back (way behind the wheels).

Amazing how many traffic signs have fallen to a short right hand turn, more frequent in the larger trailers and some motor homes, but all associated with misjudging the turn. Anybody ever read the sign that says this vehicle makes wide right hand turns on tractor trailers, there for a reason.

I've clipped enough curbs to know better now.

I actually saw what I read on here telling folk to beware of the rear of the RV rotating out as you make a turn. The fellow camping next to us this weekend had about a 35' foot RV. Not a Rpod. There was a big pine tree on the left side at the exit of his parking spot. As he turn right onto the road the rear side of the trailer hit the pine tree. Put a pretty good dent at the corner. He gets out like what the heck just happened? He looks at the damage then proceeds over to the tree and kicks it. I guess he thought the tree moved.
