What a horrible way to go. He was fully aware of it till the end. R.I.P. I am no mechanic and wish I had the mind for engineering, but I have a question: Why was the car still in Drive as he tried to adjust the trailer?

Is that a common short term risk many people take when connecting to a trailer? I used to work at a U-Haul back in the 1990’s, but never saw anyone doing it this way.

I suspect he was in a hurry and thought he had put it in park.

I saw something like this in a Sopranos episode. Not very pretty. The character this happened to was Phil Leotardo, who was a real jerk of a character.

The report says he fell out of his RV. He was in the driver’s seat trying to maneuver the RV and trailer. That’s why the RV was in drive. Don’t know how he managed to fall out, though. Guess he had the door open and was leaning out trying to see or something.

What we need are commonsense RV control laws.

Even odds he was a retiree with minimal big rig driving/handling experience. There are a lot of them on the road.

The way I read it was that he was pulling a trailer with a motor coach and he was trying to get the trailer straight in line with the motor coach. He probably couldn't see the trailer in his mirrors and was leaning out the door to check and fell. I'd bet it was a Class C (van front and chassis with a coach body built on it) as most Class A motor homes don't have driver's doors. Some do, but it's rare, and they're older models.

Some people do not know how to use their mirrors while maneuvering a trailer.
