Scariest Place you've towed your Camper/ Caravan

[areyonga]

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

     

To the mother-inlaws

Wilcannia

Wilcannia is a great place unless your talking over 15 years ago they are nice, it is the kids at Menindee that are trouble.

Worst place my secret camping spot back of Goulburn where you lock brakes on car and camper driving down gravel decline then have to release car brakes and manually activate trailer brakes to keep both straight. Getting out is another story altogether

Also for anyone trying to drive through Sydney towing treat others the same way they treat you, indicate and turn don't give a second thought, it works for me

You are being sarcastic about Wilcannia surely

I went to Wilcannia for one night last year and spent 4, it was great, and when I ask people why they think its bad about the place they usually say that a mates, cousin three removed was told by a prison guard who wife was related to a person who read about it in the paper,,,, well you know what I mean.  There is too many out dates stories that just keep getting handed down.

Its a great place with a lot of riverboat history and the council is restoring the old buildings back to almost what they looked like over 100 years ago.  I feel sorry for the hard workers of the town while there are attitudes like this.

Its a good place and I stay there every time I go through that way.

Not 15 years, 2013, stopped for fuel and was happy that was all.

Main Street had a bad vibe, pub had bars on the windows. Long range tanks now, won't be back

Not the CT but took a 4.5 tonne Mercedes diesel motorhome all over Tassie for my honeymoon.
Loved every piece of Tassie but up and down Mt Wellington between Christmas and newyear was an interesting drive. This motorhome was flat out at 80 and could only pull about 20 up these hills.
Very slow trip around the island

okay I admit, Wilcannia wasn't the scariest but by far the worst on that particular trip and that was 2013 also. 

Good to hear they are cleaning it up.

Home.
The first time from the showroom, all shiny and new.
Not anymore though. :-)

Years ago took the wrong turn off leading into a camp ground as the road/track I took turned out to be horse trail into camp.

Problem was once I worked out something was wrong the track narrowed with no place to turn around. To top things off it started to rain, track getting narrower, a couple of steep and slippery dry creek crossing where I had to hit much faster than I would have liked as my 4WD wheel track didn’t line up with the single file horse track in and out of these creeks plus 2 crying kids in the back because they thought we would never get out of the forest.

After about 30 minutes finally managed to find a spot I could do a 20 point turn with the camper and had to do it all over again. Broke the handle off my jockey wheel, small dent in trailer mud guard and lots and lots of bush pin striping.

Sounds more like a great adventure to me.
Real soul  building stuff. Great experience for the kids. Once they can handle a "bush" track detour they can then start handling the real scary stuff,  like peak hr in the city.

Looking back it was an adventure, but at the time I wasn’t so sure. I must be weird as towing campers or boats in peak hour traffic doesn’t phase me.
