Scariest Place you've towed your Camper/ Caravan

[sol]

I was just talking to a guy who took a wrong turn somewhere in Brisbane and had to tow his van through the main area of Bisbane in peak hour. He reckons he's never been so s**t scared in his life.
Driving from Sydney RV out through Penrith and over the Blue Mountains at 445pm on a Monday afternoon was the worst for me.

What's the scariest place you guys and gals have had to tow in or through

Not scary, but challenging 

Lost the hydraulics on the clutch coming into Esk one night with a CUB camper in tow. Was stuck in 4th gear and had to drive the Esk-Hampton rd up the range in 4th gear. The T intersection and stop sign at the top of the range was interesting with no clutch

surely not?

Towing along the M1 one day at 120 k/ph ( true GPS speed ) and a B double appeared right up my ar*e....had to speed up to 130 to get rid of him !!!   

Don't think his speed limiter was working properly !!

Okay - so I guess this qualifies...
Collect my LCT AT11 (sub 2tn) van on a Friday...

I had never towed anything before in my life - ever..   

John, (the owner of LCT) kindly takes me on a crash course (pun intended) - through the bowels of Springwood and Slacks Creek etc for approx an hour...

Then its me solo off down the M1 - slamming into BNE peak hour; inbound Friday avro traffic chaos...     

Through the ICB; (Lang Park restricted access gridlock; and angst)...  and then out to the Ashgrove Caravan Park - where I had arranged to park tug and van (all connected together) overnight ...  so we could have a successful 5.30am escape to the caravan trainer course up at Gympie the next morning...

SWMBO collects me from the Ashgrove Caravan Park and takes me home...   But I was wondering whether I should be telling her to bring me a fresh pair of undies

Hope you didn't have to use the toilet.  We stopped to fill up there once and my wife and friend ventured to the toilet, interesting to say the least.

Nope, filled up and got out of town. Wife stayed in the car. Long range tank now, won't need to stop there again

Right after picking up our patriot on the Gold Coast I headed to Northern side of brisbane to a mates. Followed the GPS that took me peak hour through brisbane. I've towed a lot before but I was more worried about my precious new camper in heavy traffic getting damaged.

Old coach road on the cape trip. More challenging than scary, although some parts had my heart racing.

[frenchac]

From Oberon to Jenolan Caves, very steep and windy.
To cap it off, I parked in the middle of a large, empty car park.
When we returned a few hours later, the car park was absolutely full and I was right in the middle.
If anyone has ever tried driving out of a car park they will know that you need to swing wide when towing.  This was not possible.
Some masterful reversing with the attendant stopping traffic and 20 minutes later I was out!!

Two memories come to mind.  20 years ago I was towing a friend's old wind up camper trailer across the great dividing range towards Coff's Harbour.  I didn't realize that the trailer brakes were not properly adjusted and my vehicle brakes were fried as I navigated the steepest downhill sections coming into Dorrigo.  The other experience was traveling south on the Silver City Hwy from Tibooburra some years ago when the heavens opened.  I was towing a Tambo camper trailer and it was a handful in the slushie conditions, sometimes swinging widely to one side and then the other.  I guess I should have pulled over but I was scared of sinking into the mire on the roadside so I kept going.  Upon arriving at Broken Hill we discovered (for good reason) that the road north was closed.  Both scary experiences

Tomahawk Spur descending into the King Valley.

Was a bit steeper than anticipated and it was the first time I had the camper in the high country...
