After travelling round the world in kilometres,but staying in Europe on our gap year. We did have a few close shaves.(We do not count hitting that tree in Cordoba with the bike rack on consecutive days in exactly the same place .As strictly speaking it is an accessory, that sticks out ,and just asks for trouble.)
Sadly I have to wait until I advertise my m/h for sale and then reverse into a garden wall to check the strength of the plastic bits round the lights. A dismal failure.It did not put up much of a fight.
The second part of the experiments is,how long I will have to wait to get the parts.

Bad luck mate, especially after travelling all that way without a hitch.
Did that wall have permission to jump out unannounced ?
You're not alone though and this might make you feel better - a week after after we briefly met at the sosta at Pisa I managed to reverse into a scooter
Hope you get sorted soon.

Maybe it's time to invest in that reversing camera?
Good luck getting it sorted. We've all had a few crunches in our time but you just hope it's the last one
Is it still bad luck if you do have a reversing camera. Or could it be another reason.
Would increased rear vision have helped? Or would you not have seen the offending object even with the rear view camera? Garden walls should be painted with reflective paint to save us MHers hassle

Buon giorno, that is bad luck, and hope you manage to fix it OK.
We motorhomers seem to be surrounded by aggressive walls, gate posts, lamp posts, hidden tree branches etc.
It's time we got up a petition against them!

i know what u mean. Only yesterday, a tree had the audacity to jump out of a hedge and knock my side light off. All trees and walls should be moved away from roads as a matter of urgency and prevent this sort of vandalism in the future
Hope you get it fixed up ok.
