A news article that tells me nothing. Or am I missing something?

I’ll provide the paint….you can watch it dry.

Nope a non story so far!

 

[Pausim]

A sad event. Hopefully we will be told in due course if there are any useful lessons for others but perhaps it was not that sort of incident.

Yes, but it’s what it doesn’t say that and the language used that suggests something tragic happened beyond a straightforward death. Time will tell.

Perhaps he was looking for a soulmate like the buxom young lady in the adverts of the above article…..and his wife found out

Or he found her and his heart gave up?

Too soon?

I can't say anything yet, but he's my uncle, and it was a tragic incident.

So first thing you do is join a motorhome forum. ......

I was laying in bed not able to sleep browsing and saw a news arrival on it. I then came across this thread. So yes, I did just sign up.

 

[ComputerBlues]

News article I mean.
He had loads of years experience, and got me involved in this hobby 2 years ago.
I was due to go on my trip Monday, but now not sure if I want my caravan anymore or even go.

 

[Barry/Dot]

I’m so sorry to hear of your loss and you have my condolences. In time I hope you get the answers you need. The trip may help you get some space. Take care.

Probably when he went to pay it was too much for his 'dicky ticker'

Cant really understand why people are joking about someone’s death

Some how, he got run over by the rear wheel of his pickup truck, and then by his heavy twin axel that has motor movers on. That's what happened. Crushed and I assume mangled up by motor movers.. Totally freak accident.

Blinkin heck thats a tragic accident,im very sorry for your loss the poor man, ive never really thought about the danger of motor movers but they are pretty lethal things when you think about it,my husband nearly got crushed by our horse box trailer,he slipped and our drive was a slope ,it swung back round and nearly went over his head .luckily i was there and rammed the brake on;

 

[Spriddler]

That's very sad. My son has motor movers on his caravan but he has to hold in one or more of the remote controller buttons to operate the mover(s) motors.

Yes, it's all been more than a bit crass and disrespectful.

That's very sad. My son has motor movers on his caravan but he has to hold in one or more of the remote controller buttons to operate the mover(s) motors.

That's my understanding. When you let go of a button it stops. Results of the inquiry will be much awaited by many with the movers. Tragic.

I think the "jokes" are actually about the CAMC

Buttons can jam, electronics can fail and radio waves can suffer interference. However caused it is a very sad event and my sympathy goes out to ComputerBlues and the family and friends affected. It is also probably quite traumatic for the staff and other visitors on the site.

 

[Pausim]

Perhaps but threre is a time and place for jokes and in my opinion this is not it.

 

[Puddleduck]

I am so sorry to hear of this awful accident.

Definitely not the time or thread for anything except condolences.

I am so sorry for you and your family ComputerBlues

 

[Landy Andy]

Interesting reading, and that people assume that the motor movers are to blame. That isn’t how I read/understand it.
