Pat & Pete Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 Looks like the guy didn't set the brake . Maybe the guy left something burning on the stove and the Dalmatian was just doing his natural duty by putting the fire out . Goes around , comes around .

jpcoll01 Posted January 11, 2019 Report Share Posted January 11, 2019 I've met this guy several times, he is a multiple time world champion whitewater kayaker and a pro fisherman (think the bar is pretty low for that one, just get some sponsors). You can hear him say that the park brake is on, but apparently just failed when the dog bumped it into Reverse. This would be terrible, good on him for taking it with a smile and having the confidence to show his failure publicly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Carlos Posted January 12, 2019 Report Share Posted January 12, 2019 I've driven a Class A with a pushbutton transmission that didn't require pressing the brake to shift, and also disengaged the brake automatically when you select R or D. Seemed crazy to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sehc Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 I can't find a automatic transmission that can be shifted from park with just a push on the lever. I could push a stick shift into neutral. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Carlos Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 It's almost impossible to push a manual out of gear when it's loaded up on a hill like that. This was probably a pushbutton trans, not a lever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrfrank Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 If the coach had an Allison transmission, then it didn't have a Park position. None of the Allisons that were on the coaches that I owned did! For sure wasn't manual. Frank Kay - Co-pilot Roscoe and Maggie - Rescue Beagles "I asked God to send us a True Friend.

Lou Schneider Posted January 15, 2019 Report Share Posted January 15, 2019 It wouldn't take much for an energetic dog to bump the air brake release button. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
2gypsies Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 I've heard of this happening a few times. Also, of a cat turning on the kitchen water faucet when the owners were gone and it flooded the place. Also, cats getting caught in the slide mechanisms and crushed. Or pets running out the door at highway stops. Put pets in a crate until you're parked or until you're ready to take off. Also when you leave the RV. Pets can be eager to go into their crate if they're trained from early on. They probably feel contented as it's their 'cave'.

It doesn't work that way. Unless the dog is intentionally releasing the brakes. It takes a significant amount of pressure, held for enough duration to charge thee air lines with enough pressure to maintain the button in. I'm still calling BS.

sandsys Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 In a car, a friend left his keys in the ignition while doing a walk around to check tire pressures. His dog tried to follow him out the door with the result that the dog put its paws on the door handle which pushed the door lock button.

Solo18 Posted January 16, 2019 Report Share Posted January 16, 2019 My niece's big dog put her paw on the backseat automatic window control in their car. Opened the window and jumped out in heavy traffic at about 40 MPH. (The traffic, not the dog.) She had to pull over, turn the car off, and chase her down, diving between cars!
