It was because I forgot to make sure the toad front tires were pointed the direction of the MH. (learned from that lesson). <br /><br />When we started to pull away, the toad bounced around as the MH jerked it along. The tires were not pointed forward and could not roll.<br /><br />I'm wondering if when he made the turn, the tires didn't come around to the direction the MH was turning and kind of bumped along?<br /><br />We didn't do any damage to our tires because we were in loose sand. Hopefully you didn't either.<br /><br />You wouldn't think u turn would cause this, but it's definitely something to think about. I'll be aware of the possibility now.Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-2606571864638343202012-07-02T04:10:08.816-07:002012-07-02T04:10:08.816-07:00Pulled a tight turn in a sandy area one time &...Pulled a tight turn in a sandy area one time & noticed our Santa Fe at the time did kind of a 'wheel hop' in the softer sand. Was concerned I had maybe bent the rim or something but everything was OK. Had couple lava lamps once but never been in a lava tube:))Al Bossencehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04307619781955351484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-53559258179598239352012-07-01T17:33:53.194-07:002012-07-01T17:33:53.194-07:00Oops..

The only ones I'd worry about in an earthquake are lava tubes as they're close to the surface and pretty unstable.<br /><br />When we go to limestone caverns, I don't have a problem at all. Earthquakes don't usually affect limestone caves as much.<br /><br />I've been in lots of caves, and have actually been to Lava Beds National Monument many times. (I lived in Klamath Falls, Oregon for ten months and we loved going to Lava Beds in the summer...much cooler in the caves, especially the ice caves.)<br /><br />Susan<br />http://travelbug-susan.comTravelBug-Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01974719934652737928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5822169260430560826.post-85497624624320605662012-07-01T15:55:31.351-07:002012-07-01T15:55:31.351-07:00I don't like caves, no way, no how!
