Looks as though the driver didn't know when to quit. I guess he thought as long as it's moving he's good to go, he just doesn't know the TV going sideways doesn't count.

Further proof that 4wd does not repeal the laws of physics.

I’ve seen that x100 at Talladega after rain at a race. Not fun.

I had that just recently happened in the Finger lake region of New York to my trailer and truck. I pulled into a camp ground in Bath, New York were most of the sites are grass with no hard pack ground to pull in on. The site was a pull thru being very narrow for my truck and 5er to get into on this grass site. The site also had a cement pad on one side for a picnic tale and chairs. The rear wheels of my trailer where caught on the one corner of the pad, 2 inch lip to climb. With the ground being very wet I soon became buried in mud with just two wheel drive being engaged, 4 wheel drive would not help at all. I needed a another 4-wheel drive truck plus small utility tractor to pull me out with the camper attached.

The next day a motor home (DP) got stuck across from my site, do to the same soft ground due to all of the rain that has occurred in this area. Again the same 4-wheel drive tuck and tractor pulled him out.

Been there, done that...sort of

I have been stuck pulling into RV spots saturated with rain and very soft and muddy. Takes a lot of boards to properly get into and out of such spots. Fortunately the RV Park had a tractor to pull me out.
