And this is my problem with class A RVs. Johnny pencil pusher can drive his Honda Civic to his desk job and back every day for 50 years. When Johnny pencil pusher retires, he can sell his house and buy a class A RV without any training or licensure and drive it on the public roadway.

We all make mistakes, a lot of rv owners would have tried to get it out with a 4x4 pickup and done more damage. This guy was smart enough to call someone with the prober equipment and knowledge to do it right. Better have that receiver hitch inspected for damage.

I seen an RV get stuck and he had his own chain to pull it out with, I assumed he had that happen before. He flagged down dump truck and asked him if he would try to pull him out. The driver said, only if you promise I won't be responsible for any damages. The RV guy said I promise any damages will be on me. The dump truck driver turned around hooked up the chain and the dump truck pulled the guy out smooth and easy. The dump truck was loaded a tri axle straight dump. The RV guy gave the truck driver a hundred dollars. The driver said, sir I didn't stop to take your money. The RV guy said young man you just saved me over $1000 , you earned it. They both went away happy.

Contacted the owner, he had access to a skid loader. With a tow strap he, hubby and I was able to finally back it out of our space. Yes.... I have quite a few more gray hairs from that.

We just lost a known man of the towing industry in my local area to health complications from Minichs towing and recovery here in Oil City Pa. He will be missed greatly, I have great respect for all of you. I've helped chain down my own truck in -9 degree weather on a flatbed before, that's all it took for me to understand the work, stress, determination, and sacrifice that you guys have to deal with on a daily basis. Keep on keepin' on! Stay safe and God bless!

Good recovery with no damage. When the guy said,,, ‘’’Well,, I nearly made it’’’’’. The rear wheels are driving, he didn’t make it by a long way. I guess it’s not the first time he’s driven over the grass with no issue, just didn’t realise how sodden the grass was. But I’m jealous of his motorhome.

Many men, and sadly women, too, can't get three words out without adding at least an "f" or "s" to what they are saying. You, young man, are a very refreshing change on KZfaq! That is one beautiful coach and must have cost him pretty close to what your rig did for you.

Nice job! I once got mine stuck in a grass field at Mid America raceway in Ohio where I was staying to watch a weekend motorcycle race. I was on level ground but it rained all weekend and the coach literally sunk into the soil due to its own weight. There’s a lot to be said about that rich, black soil. Good for farming, not so good for parking big RV’s. Not up to the axles but just couldn’t get traction. Any effort to get out just dug me in deeper and I stopped and called Good Sam roadside asst before I got in too deep. They had to tow me from the front. The entire front of the coach is a totally soft underbelly of fiberglass but they rigged a good snatch block to keep the towline low and got me out with no damage. Props and respect to these good tow operators. That happened about 5 years ago and I’m always mindful of driving on to any non-paved surface. This video was a good reminder. Nicely done.

Hey, Ron, you did a heck of a job pulling Sonny's RV Bus free; really amazing work you do. Guess, it pays to have the right equipment AND the experience to do that without causing any damage. Congrats, Sir! Y'all Be Safe!

The owner made a bad judgment call in driving his RV off of his driveway into the lawn of his property. No damages was done to anything except to property that is his own. The owner certainly proved he is qualified to handle this rig by backing it onto the roadway and then backing it into his driveway. Granted he should have done that to begin with and I am sure he instantly wished he had done the same once he felt the tires sink beneath him. Most owners of class A's would have needed multiple attempts to do what he did in one shot. To mention being glad that it didn't put anyones life in danger is ridiculous.

Lay off of the RV owner. He obviously knows how to drive it. He backed it out of the drive and back in better than a lot of people do with their car. He obviously drives over the grass every time he comes back home with that thing as it is to long to use the roundabout. It is much safer than stopping and backing up on the highway. Since he had been out of town he probably did not know how soft the lawn was. To the guy who thinks a CDL should be required to drive one of those having a CDL does not keep you from making poor decisions. Look back to Ron's videos of pulling the same trucker out of the same mud hole at the casino twice in the same week.

Can't agree that he knows how to drive it. He is lucky he didn't put it in the ditch backing it back in. He should have pulled up farther and into the other lane before backing in so he would have had left rear, which is a lot easier to see, close to inside of turn. He would have had much more room on the far side of the driveway and the whole other lane to swing the front end.
