So my mistake started out simple enough, but the consequences are what make it worse.
I unhooked the RV today to drive it to class, and I was running late and a little rushed. I got in and drove for a short ways before I noticed some movement in my rearview. I got out and realize I had not unhooked the water hose from the side of the rig. Instead of just breaking the water hose, it pulled the spigot up out of the ground along with about 80ft of black burial hose, where the hose broke at a junction. There was no way to cut off the water without shutting it off at the meter, also killing water to the rental unit nearby.
Worst part is, I had a midterm, so I had NO time to stick around and fix it. I'll just have to fix it in the dark when I get back at 10PM tonight.
The only bright side is, I no longer think that breaking the vent lid at the car wash last week was the stupidest mistake ever.
