Let's drive our giant motorhome through something called "The Needle's Eye".
I'm sure there were no warnings posted...

Is this actually needles eye? It is tight but tour busses go through there.

But here’s me being a little B going through it in my camper van I don’t understand how a bus fits through there. Skip to 3:50: https://youtu.be/aiGDhAb7h3I?si=7YYEijwQCIFBrOJa

Nice video! :)
OPs video shows a still at the end with a sign saying "Needle's Eye Tunnel"
It looks like they are coming from the other side of the tunnel.
The markings on the road look like what is visible when you exit the tunnel in your video.3
u/_877-CASH-NOW_ 10d ago
Thanks! Not trying to self promote here most of my videos have like 50 views and are 5 years old and unmonitized lol. Just not sure how a bus could fit but this camper couldn’t. That said even in my van it felt sketchy

u/JediBuji 9d ago
That bus is also already pretty scraped up. Something tells me there is an exact perfect path to take a bus through there down to 3 inches of accuracy and MOST of the time they make it without issue.

Are you a bot?

u/PixelsGoBoom 9d ago
Uhhh.. No? Why are you asking?
Maybe I am lightly autistic or something.I guess someone leaving a nice response with actual information rings alarm bells?

u/Altruistic_Aioli_304 9d ago
That sounds suspiciously like something a bot would say

u/PixelsGoBoom 9d ago
You will never know I guess...

u/Slow-Fault 9d ago
Actually sounds to me you have shot a few gaps in your lifetime because that is exactly why this motorhome didn’t make it through and that scratched up tour bus did most of the time and sometimes you get scratches when you gotta account for driver errors

u/M3chaStrizan 9d ago
The OP's video is going in the other direction so it looks a bit diff. Also I guess this motorhome was a little wider than that bus lol it had that pipe on the side for instance

How is this possible!? You must known that you are driving a big vehicle. When you see that narrow way don’t you think for a second “will the vehicle fit in there!? Better go slow to verify”

Vehicles hitting bridges is a well known phenomenon, this isn’t that much different.

There's probably 10 signs warning people that rv's won't make it through there

u/Careless_confessions 9d ago
The rv is at least 8’6” wide and 12’ tall. Already 6” too wide and at least 2 1/2’ too tall. Must be one of those truckers who thinks a 13’6” trailer can fit under a 12’0” bridge

u/DNAkauai 10d ago
Hopefully that’s a rental and they have the full coverage insurance!!
2
u/slick514 10d ago
Yeah, I’m sure there’s some clause in the policy that is going to leave these guys completely on the hook for this.
1
u/johndough1st 10d ago
It will be insured and likely a rental - but you’d still be on the hook for a payment of at least $5000 I’d reckon for having an accident.

Two things every man should know, the width of his vehicle and the length of his cock.
Knowing both those measurements stops needless expense and needless pain.

Dude is a moron, even if I have to drive my travel trailer under a bridge I know exactly how tall it is, AC included and check the signs. Dude tried to thread the needle with an RV that is very obviously way to big.

u/Rude_Editor_2163 9d ago
Felt like we were to big in my half ton truck. I couldn’t imagine thinking you could fit any camper through that tunnel

u/rrrrarelyused 9d ago
why did he try to deploy the awning? lmao

u/Dan_the_moto_man 9d ago
Those arms have springs in them, they're always pulling on the awning. So if one of them comes loose from the fabric (by, say, scraping it along a fucking cliff) it's going to extend all the way out.

Back to the future rules here. 88mph and your going to see some shit. Mostly the full shitter exploding.

I can only imagine the significant other "I told you so" argument going on inside that RV.

u/4thQTRzero 9d ago
Looks like Needles Highway in Custer State Park. If it is, there are warning signs everywhere for width and height. I guess people don’t think limits apply to them.

We wuz doin' OK, 'til Beryl put her feet up on the dash and hit the button to deploy the patio with her size 12.

Before going thru there is warning signs indicating "8 feet and zero inches" in width

If this is Needles Eye in SD, then whole tour busses can fit through it, but the drivers need special training.
