Warning now ... RVers campers and all.....

When cranking in your campers.. Please check all nooks and crannys.....

This little old lady was so upset when she realized what she did. And here is her story....

I get a call to help a camper out at her site. Her slide out was having trouble cranking in. So I arrived the lady advised me that she was cranking the slide out in when she hear a weird noise. The crank stopped,so she decided to crank a little harder on it. She then heard a crunch. And decided to call for some assistance. I looked at the crank and test crank it and sure enough it wouldnt crank in, but would crank out. As I cranked it in I to heard a crunch and asked the lady if she checked outside. She insisted she did. I told her I needed to take a second look incase a limb maybe holding it back ect...

And it wasnt a branch.... OUCH!!!!!!!! :eek1::eek:

Poor coon. :( I don't understand how someone could miss that either. If you go camping at all I would think you would recognize the sound of an animal cry and double check before you start cranking again.
 
To add to the story.... there was a space between the top of the slide out and what appeared to be a canvas awning (for the rain, so it would not collect on top of the slide out, I assume). That is where the coon was hiding.
 
If you can't survive a slide out crank, how do you expect to survive a coyote attack? Simple survival of the fittest (smartest?). :shrugs:

OMG THAT IS FREAKIN HILARIOUS LOL!!! Sorry I don't mean to be sick but I hate those little bastards and for some reason I just didn't think I was going to see that (could be the 3 Jack & Cokes ;) ) :laugh01:
 
it probably was hidden on the first crunch and when you or her messed with the crank it loosened up and slipped to a position that it could be seen. That is funny.....sad...but funny. My step father and step brothers used to live trap and they would bring coons home and keep as outside pets in rabbit hutches. They were nasty creatures. I saw one tear into a dog once, it wasn't pretty! Good thing it was dead when you got it out, or you may have been hurting.
 
I do have to say though, I have two friends that have a pet racoon at their house and it is awesome. It's name is Rocky and racoons aren't color blind like a lot of mammals so they've trained it to grab different kinds of beer out of the refrigerator! It's awesome! Anyways...just 2 cents about the good side of coons :)

Click to expand...

I have to agree. If the coon didn't get out of the way when it's hiding spot first started to move, then it was probably either already dead or too sick/injured and was going to die anyway.
 
I love coons....I shouldn't laugh...but Jazz that is way to funny!:rofl: :roflmao::bowdown: Ok my side hurts now.
