Errors? RV drivers fess up

You see them on the road all summer, but what’s really going on inside that RV? Here are some common mistakes RV drivers make — by their own admission: pulling away with the steps extended (14%), backing into something (8%), misjudging overhead or side clearance space (7%), improperly connecting taillights (5%) and running out of gas (3%). That’s what 1,000 RV drivers told an informal online survey conducted by Progressive Group of Insurance Cos. of Mayfield Village, Ohio. And yes, 2% admitted they sometimes left passengers behind: usually a spouse or significant other, rarely Grandma or the family pet.
