Yes, thats embarrising and thankfully no camera happy tourists were posing for pics when it happened, but I can top it.
Last wed. I was deadheading back to Vegas and I was going west on the 163 out of Laughlin. Got to the top and decided to pull over so I could setup my coffee maker. Normaly I keep my driver side on the asphalt due to VERY soft ground. As soon as I stopped rolling I said "Shite, what did I just do"? Yup, all the way off and even with the diff locked in, it wanted to spin. I'm sitting there when a buddy pulled up. I Wasn't digging or anything and he came back laughing, knowing damn well I was stuck on FLAT ground and EMPTY. Told him to shut up and threw an end of chain.....didn't take much to pull it out, a volkswagon could have done that. Course when he tries to tease me about it, I just remind him of the nose diving trailer a few weeks back and he shuts up.
