So many TM owners told me "If somebody hits me, I'm a dead man"

I ask, with full water tank or full waste tank and driving the busiest highways in North America----400, 401, 403, 404, 407, 410 etc... Would YOU survive a bad motor vehicle collision???

Hell YES. I drive a 2008 Volkswagen Crafter ( same as Mercedes ). Airbags, ABS, Traction control, Electronic stability control, seatbelt pre tensioners and the Legend GT, waste tank and stainless hosereels have 22 high tensile steel bolts holding it to the engineer approved frame and van floor. As well as that in between the truckmount and me is steel shelving with 24 dri eaze airmovers, three 1200 dehums and a factory fitted solid steel cargo barrier. A necessity when regularly travelling on 'The Gateway' ( to hell ). Biggest POS, semi trailer crowded deathtrap of a road in Australia.

Sounds great Rip it……….however the biggest storm you have probably encountered is a sand storm……..Could you survive driving in 20centermetors of snow and ice with the worst drivers you could possible imagine. Take your van for a spin across six lanes of ice and hit an idiot entering the HWY at 20kilimeters an hour……now can your van survive that kind of collision……probably…..but what about your soul.

Well if we EVER get 20 centimetres of snow in Brisbane I doubt there will be much driving going on by anybody. Not a lot of the tyre shops around here stock snow chains lol.

As far as moron drivers go. It's the same problem the world over. If someone is stupid enough to pull out in front of me then that's in Gods hands. I'm sure my soul will be just fine.

It happens every day of the week. That's what happens when you spend half your life behind the wheel. Cue soundtrack to Duel.

If there is enough of an incline I can ski it.
