We went to FMCA Hutchison Ks, in Sept-Oct 2002. Parked at the fairgrounds on what was left field, yep grass. We had 5 inches of rain in 2 and 1/2 days and over 5000 coaches sank. If they moved, they were mired, some up to their frames. We didin't move and the bus, 2001 CC XLI 2slide, sank 3 inches into the ground.
We ended up being pulled out backwards by a John Deere 8 tired articulated tractor that was contracted to yank everyone out of the mire.
At the time the PP rally director didn't want to lead a caravan of 50,000+ vehicles onto a non solid surface. Well, we were with the CC caravan and went on in as newbies. Never again will we knowingly park on a soft surface.
There is more to the story anyone can read on Prevost-Stuff. 2002 FMCA "Mud Fest"
