Dash cam video of Jeep coming off of dolly behind RV

- Here is the dash cam video of the Jeep decided to go for an off road advanture after the straps loosened off. (the dash cam is hardwired and runs anytime there is motion)
The vibration of the road was bad and obviously the straps were not as tight as they should have been. Luckily it went into the ditch and no one was hurt. Watch as it threads through the posts and signs narrowly missing them all.
Since this little adventure happened , there has been some safety chains installed. But hopefully they will never be needed. I have certainly taken my lumps and understand the severity of the what could have happened. Obviously my intentions were not to lose the Jeep .

imagine your own car passing you in the grass
Honey, is that our Jeep!😮
That happened to a friend of mine, his daughter was looking out the window of their Winnebago and a boat went by and she says daddy that looks just like our boat and he looked over and it was their boat😅

Look at that fuel economy!!
Truckdriver here... this is why I believe RVs should go into scale houses and have to pass inspection like we do for public safety. I've seen kids in pull behind RVs, motor homes with drivers drinking beer,etc. Yet we (truckers) are a cash cow, and it's not about safety as much as money. .
You got sooo lucky! Can't believe the toad missed all those light standard and signs!!!
Go out and buy a lottery ticket!!
Because luck follows luck ?
Isn't it very bad luck to lose it off the dolly in the first place
@ 0:13 it hit a sign. Not as bad as it could have been though.
@@joeguetzloff4465 I think that rock at the end would have inflicted significant damage.
That thing went into oncoming and killed someone, they'd be going to prison
@@juliogonzo2718 no it didnt
My Dad was a trucker driver. Something on the trailer axle broke. He saw the dual wheels come off in the mirror slowed down, swerved into them to knock them down. They would have gone into oncoming traffic and possibly killed someone, had he not done that. Thats just one of the memories I have of my Dad that make me smile .😊 thankfully no one was hurt by the unmanned jeep
my dad was also a truck driver and in the 80s he lost a wheel and he said the last time he saw it, it was heading into town lmao kept driving.
@@XxAtomic646xX well, you couldn’t of expected him to drive off the road and follow it !! I’m very proud of my dad. I’m sure he saves somebody’s life that day.
One time I was on the highway and a tire came off a truck and bounced over me! Didn't hirt my car, it was crazy.
Your dad is bot your real dad.
Your dad is a brave man.@@buzzedalldrink9131
This jeep has been well trained. We trained our own jeep over a period of two years and it really made a huge difference in terms of our jeeps obedience.
😂😂😂😂
the jeep whisperer
👋🤣👍
Pfffhahahhaahahahaaaahaww!!!
I think this one is trying to escape back to its natural habitat
That Jeep drove itself more skillfully than every Mustang driver ever could. 😊
Or Tesla self driving car
😂😂😂😂😂😂 Nailed it
Literally best case scenario of a worst case situation. Also just gave everyone a nice fat reminder to check their stuff when towing
Just curious: why was the dash cam on in a towed car?
@@rcnelson How else could we have seen a video of it?
@@rcnelson Some dashcams can detect "crashes" or other sudden movement of a vehicle and save the footage (always recording but only saves video to the SD card when it detects an incident). Perhaps it getting knocked off the trailer or hitting that bump before stopping could have triggered it if that is the case
If it's wired correctly cameras stay on when the car's ignition is off.
@@amzarnacht6710for a certain amount of time until a battery cut off switch turns on
That was the most exciting short video. Great plot great action and a protagonist I was rooting for, with a happy ending: better than most movies I’ve seen lately.
😂
I think the casting was meant to sway the Academy around Oscar season. :)
Probably the only time in that jeeps life it will ever go off-roading. It escaped on purpose.
"i want to break free"
You don’t actually think that, do you? The guy has an RV and you think he DOESNT off road?
No, the jeep is just there to try to pull out the RV whenever it gets stuck while off-roading.
Watch his other videos. Before you go full restart. Never go full restart.

"Look at that Jeep over there in the grass, looks just like ours! Hey, this motor home feels like it has a bunch more power all of a sudden."
I can feel some added power coming from somewhere. It must have been those chili dogs I ate at the truck stop.
I got unreasonably excited that it didn't hit anything and had a "Hell yeah" moment. Good stuff.
we all did bruh
until that jagged rock at the end.
So you just ignored when it Smashed into a sign and made a loud bang at 0:13 ...? K
@@joel.ha. probably lost a mirror, at least it wasn't totaled. I was expecting it to roll.
@@reefhound right but I was replying to someone said "IT DIDN'T HIT ANYTHING"
When we lived in Florida and were traveling I75 one day taking an on off ramp. Along side the road a big RV had pulled over. He too had a dolly attached (with a strap hanging) and he was scratching his head and looking around in a worried way. It was probably the first turn he had taken in quite awhile where he could actually see the vehicle he was/wasn’t towing. Quite a surprise I would think.
Wow! That Jeep did some real “off-roading!”
Probably the most off roading it has ever seen AND all by itself

a lucky ass landing?
What's lucky about an ass landing?
ONE ASS LUCKY ABSOLUTELY LANDING

Well, not to mince words, but one way of looking at it would be that the ass in the situation is lucky to be alive. @@PANZERFAUST90
Good demo of Jeep's new self driving software! Outstanding collision avoidance algorithm.
It's drives itself better than most people I know behind the wheel
Yeah if someone was behind the wheel, they would have over reacted the moment they hit the grass to avoid any on coming non existent semi trees that could hit them then somehow would have tuned into a multi vehicle pile up, multiple roll overs, a dear being hit, a head on collision and a semi tanker catching fire then leading to a wild fire lol
Thank you so much for blurring out that sign near the end. I don't think I could have watched the video without you doing that.
I saw it before it was blurred out and my innocence is lost forever. I never imagined such a thing could happen 20 miles outside of &*%%%sville.
imagine looking out to the side of your rv and just seeing your jeep running away
At first he didn't realize it was his. With his wife driving, he rolled the passenger window down and was heard yelling to the jeep..
Hey Dip$h!t !! Buy an RV an just tow the sumbitch! Hella lot cheaper!
What's that honey?
@@phildavenport4150 did we watch the same video?? Yes not right away but it'd be REAL hard for the jeep to have passed the rv if the rv was just still cruising at 70mph like you claim lol
Once saw a 2 horse trailer didn't have any horses come off on the freeway in Southern California going about 75 mph. It went for while then spun around about 15 times eventually coming to a stop traffic was light everyone jammed the breaks I was 2nd car behind it looking back for someone to rear end me didn't happen. Guy didn't have any safety chains said he was trying to get to home he bought it sight unseen went to pick it up had no chains.
needn't imagine
@cherriberri8373 if you watch the rv slows down and the jeep does pass it.
I'm curious... why was the Green highway sign blurred out? What the hell could be censored from that???
Location, location location🤷 This was a prank video. Someone was driving the Jeep.🤭
@@Theuglytruth1776 LOL was wondering the same thing 🤣
I’m guessing that the Jeep wasn’t old enough to have his driver’s license and the owner was trying to keep him from getting in trouble.
Most off-roading that Jeep will ever see! 😂 Glad it didn’t wander into traffic and hurt someone.
It's easy enough to see the other videos on the channel of said jeep off-road. You're projecting how mad you are that your vehicle sucks cock off road
Imagine looking out the window and your Jeeps offroading by itself 😂
Just that one rock at the end. Not bad
She’s got enough skid plates underneath her that she can easily survive a rock or two, possibly even three like that without doing much injury to the suspension/drivetrain. Both the RV driver snd the Jeep could not have gotten any luckier tho!! Thank goodness no one was hurt and the Jeep only had a few bruises
It sideswiped a small metal sign, but that was it until the rock.
After a few "OH NOs" it wasn't too bad‼️
Thanks for sharing 😎
When ever you tow/haul anything, you should stop every 100 miles or when ever, to check all fasteners/hitches/etc. Especially after the first so many miles, things get out of adjustment, even check the hitch ball nut to see if it needs tightening.
At least every fuel stop...drove across country pulling other peoples cars/belongings several times now
and at every stop, things needed to be re-tightened....plus we still had safety chains on everything, never lost
1 yet
There's so many geriatrics that don't know how, or don't have the strength to fasten these vehicles down properly it's not even funny. I see them all the time in the road with loose straps and no chains.
And tow correctly...
@@JD-vl5yh its insane. i dont get how they feel nothing doing that. when i did this the first time i had hella anxiety and made sure everything is set and kept checking it along the way. so much could go wrong even though its a simple thing. how do people not care?
@@JD-vl5yh Sadly, its mostly old people that own these. They can barely drive a car and somehow are allowed to pilot something like this. The video I saw of one blindly pulling out in front of a semi recently was interesting. The semi locked up their brakes and somehow stopped in time. The rv would have been ripped apart like toilet paper.
Impressive! The only thing the jeep hit besides the rock at the end was the flower
I think it nicked that sign in the beginning that actually pushed him back Towards the grass.
Wow! A small error that could have ended up in a trip to the body shop or a trip to prison but didn't end with either. If that was me, I'd never buy another lotto ticket. That was a life time of luck right there.
Why would they went to prison. It was an accident, he didn’t purposely rigged it to come off. You MAGA people are delusional.
I just wonder how much sh-t this guy was digging out of his underwear when all was said and done.
Or else I'd run out that day and buy one because clearly it was their lucky day!
Prison?
@@macbook802 Criminal negligence, improper use of a motor vehicle... something like that.
The authorities don't like it when your mistakes kill other people.
Talk about LUCKY !!!!! Happened to us one time with our jeep in tow using a blue ox towbar. luckily, only one bar came loose as one of the latching pins had came out. immediately switched to a double locking pin.
I'd probably have carried on driving, with nothing but the thought of "look at that idiot trying to overtake me, and coming off the road" as the Jeep went by lol 😅 I'm glad the car came to a safe stop though, and no one got hurt.
That would be Peter Griffin's response.
I'm surprised they stopped so quickly but it probably did make some loud sounds in the rv cabin coming off
we have cameras in our RV we saw the whole thing@@nicholasordish5916
You would have felt it coming off the dolly, even if you didn't hear it.
@theoriginaldashriprock oh I'm sure I personally would, but that doesn't quite work for everyone 😅
I got a tow dolly. I have towed many vehicles. You must check and recheck EVERYTHING, you see and in your mind. I have CDL's, do a pre-trip and post trip. Do a load check on your trip, wet or dry. And always add a safety chaining from the dolly to the vehicle. I will say it looks like to me the wheel straps are not in place or not place right. And no safety chain in place.
imagine the feeling watching your own car overtake you on he grass! the language used must have been awesome haha 😆
"Dad, is that our jeep over there in the ditch?" 😉
Yeah, it would be fun to see/hear the dashcam video from inside the RV
"Look at this moron trying to pass on the shoul-wait a second..."
What the f--------!
"Will you look at that Margaret, some drunk ran off the road in a Jeep that looks just like ours."
"Ummmm Frank, that Is our Jeep."
Hey, Marsha... Look a car just like ours over there!!
Better name it KITT . LoL 😂
Got lucky on that one 👍
The Jeep missed everything! Nice driving Mr. Ghost! I can see it now. "Hey, look at that idiot with a Jeep like ours passing us in the grass!"
Made it back to the roads edge to be hooked back up
it did a great job of parking itself! must be an early model self driving Jeep! :-)
I love that it parked itself right next to a no parking sign 😂.
Reminds of an episode of “Lucy”.
So no damage from this get-off? That's amazingly lucky!! Thanks for sharing.
You got angels boy, thank them and the good Lord too.
This a whole new level of ghost riding your whip🤣
First of all, lucky it didn't kill anyone, and super lucky it looks like it'll drive again.
It looks perfectly unharmed.
Driver, looking out side mirror: "Hey, there's a Jeep pulling out to pass us that looks just like ours!"
Just wanted to self drive.
Jeep says " You think a Tesla can drive, Watch this"
That's convenient there was one of those barrel traffic cones there right before it stopped.
Was waiting for some james bond stuff
You did a great job of making it look like no one was driving that Jeep. ;-)
Autismotastic, Rain Man! Bravo.
Jeepers creepers that was so suspenseful
HUGE blessing that there was no substantial damage to anyone or anything, even the Jeep.
its amazing people can drive this with a normal drivers license
you are supposed to have a different class of license to drive this size rv. so no you cant drive this with a class c.
@@jermyeder2262your supposed to but its not required. As a trucker people driving these bus sized motor homes where the worst. I always kept my distance from them because they drive like a road hazard. I've been 12 years accident free. No tickets and have About 1340556 miles so far. But to be honest I drive the speed limit and I am paid by the hour so I don't have to rush.
@@jermyeder2262 hmm maybe but this does not look longer than 40 feet or over 26k pounds
@@flea8332 the weight includes all that you are towing so yes it is over 26k
You get too old to drive your car. So you buy an RV and tow it.@@DragonHalo99
Your gift for the year my friend!
Happy ending ❤
2nd time I have seen this video. Still crazy.😄 The Jeep likely suffered no damage due to its solo off-roading experience; however, I cannot say what damage was caused by dolly towing a Jeep...which is a big no-no. You either flat tow or trailer tow. In order to safely dolly tow, you have to remove the drive shaft, which is usually not practical. If I read another comment correctly, what likely happened to this jeep is the transfer case temporarily slipped into gear yanking the jeep off the dolly. I suppose someone with more knowledge can chime in on what damage this did to the transfer case.
Exactly - never dolly a JT or JLU - and likely other models. Severe damage can be done. Flat tow only. Read the owners manual!
That's not a jeep..........it's a smart car!
? Never a smart car i am in germany. What model mate? There are air vents in the hood. What smart could that be? 😂
@@marcbeebee6969 That was a feeble attempt at humor. It's probably a jeep. Because it pinballed its way to a safe stop..........I labeled it.......a smart car 🤭 teeheehee.
@@mackydog99 my bad bro. Its early in the morning and german humor you know. No hard feelings ❤️
@marcbeebee6969
None taken young man. I don't know anything about German humor, however, I......being part German, have the utmost respect for your people, culture, and country.
@@mackydog99 you do have to come visit
Wow, thank goodness no loss of life or property damage was done! OBVIOUSLY the owner knows nothing about tying it down correctly or the use of a safety chain! I'm glad he got lucky, I just hope he learned something.
Almost as good as Tesla autopilot
I’d venture to say it’s better, after all, it didn’t hit anything.
Wow, so glad no one was hurt! That Jeep kept dodging those poles!

@rvAmerica
That camper owner was the luckiest person on the roadways that day. With everything that could have gone wrong, all this person had to do was to lock the front hubs on the Jeep, drive it back to the dolly, reload it, secure it, and be on their way! There was an angel riding “shotgun” that day!
that jeep avoided more obstacles by itself than some of the ones I've seen out there with foreign drivers.
most skilled jeep driver
Wow!! How unbelievably lucky was that !?!? ❤❤❤
Fair to say that went immensely better than expected
How very, very lucky this driver was with so little damage to the Jeep!
Just imagine driving along and watching your car rolling through the paddock and coming to a stop after missing every obstacle. Lucky man.
That’s impressive that, despite a hard runover of a stump or something similar, the Jeep avoided crashing into anything!
Holy hell that went about as good as it could have! Missed two poles and only hit a small rock. At worst it's probably got a bent control arm or something. I was genuinely cheering lol.
New title:
"Dashcam video of Jeep coming off dolly behind RV... and safely parking itself"😂. For a completely helpless situation that could have ended terribly, that was a miraculous outcome!
How lucky was that ?? Any damage to jeep, driver side, from that sign ? Probably minimal, but we did hear it contact.
Jeeps are going to Jeep. If you wait too long to take them off-road, they’ll go by theirselves.
Actually that Jeep did a better job driving itself than most people on the road.
You got so lucky that nothing was damaged and nobody was hurt.
Notice how the Jeep actually won?
I saw that thing no hands, pass the rv and dodge every obstacle.
That was 10/10 😊
That jeep is more skilled at driving than most people.
I really admire how that Jeep handled this in such a calm cool and collected way. Better driving than my wife.
The car driver better him self than most of the driver good job Jeep !
Hey Honey, look, the Jeep that guy’s off-roading in is just like ours. Cool!
all in all that went pretty well considering...
Good job the dashcam was running while the engine was off and the car was being towed. Wouldn't want to miss a video of the back of an RV.
My Dad drove all kinds of trucks all his life. He loved owning his own truck and having the fastest most powerful truck in the fleet. But he was not reckless. In all those years he was involved in one accident. ONE WRECK! He was hit in the side of his car hauler trailer by a drunk driver! The average driver has no idea just how dangerous the open highway really is.
That could have been so much worse! Did you see how that thing luckily threaded the needle and even avoided every pole. Incredible! I'd say the driver that screwed up hooking this thing up got a very lucky on the damage side of things.
! Not Bad! Rolled to a near perfect stop. Imagine if that had been a Kia!
That Jeep should get a Badge of Honor for doing that trail on its own
Congrats on the fact it didn’t hit anything and probably isn’t too damaged. Sorry that you got a massive ticket for improperly securing the load and not having a breakaway stopping device.
Look honey, that’s a damn nice looking jeep there cruising beside us.
Ain't no body gonna call my Jeep a mall crawler... that baby goes OFF ROAD!
It does better than most drivers on the road today.
This is what safety chains are for buddy. Glad no one got hurt.
I actually worked on a Grand Cherokee on an insurance claim years ago that was on a towbar behind a diesel pusher motorhome. First the LF tire goes flat, then the shredded tire knocks off the fender flare then trashes the fender and hood. The tire disappears and wears down the alloy to the size of the brake rotor and the caliper was hanging by the brake hose. The violent bouncing and banging broke 2 out of 4 radius arms and broke the actual axle tube out of the front differential. He had a rear camera but couldn't see what was going on.
The RV driver had God watching over him. No damage to the Jeep at all
Wife, looking out the RV passenger window: "Oh honey look! Somebody with a Jeep just like ours is doing some off-roading right here by the freeway! What are the odds?!"
Wow! Lucky he had no damage! I’m always so surprised how many people do not know how to properly lock ratchet straps
Safest jeep driver on the road.
Wow! I was rooting for the Jeep to make it unscathed. It’s alive!
Lucky. My jeep came unhitched after 50 miles on my hill driveway rolled across 4 lane hwy into a ditch without a scratch. You got pure luck on that one.
lol That's some seriously good luck, and of all vehicles to go off-road it was a Jeep! 😂
That must have been HILARIOUS to the owner!
Dude, where’s my car?
Don’t worry, I know where it is and it’s fine!
How it missed all those items is a mystery. I drove a wrecker for over half a decade... very fortunate indeed.
I imagine the motorhome looking out the window being like look at that Yahoo driving down the ditch 😂
The Jeep became fully self aware. After this, the missles start launching and the terminators show up. 😂
That Jeep drives better than most people do!
Man alive, if you tow you've GOT to consider things that, perhaps however unlikely, might happen to your tow, and take precautions to avoid them! Of course those things aren't supposed to happen, but what if they do? Watching this has given me things to think about.
Best use of a Jeep that I have seen yet!
