What happened to this poor RV was a big mess, but how it was rescued was really fascinating.
This all happened when the motorhome owners were out on a peaceful trip but went too far into the sand.
Thus, the trip suddenly changed into a rescue mission as the RV, weighing around 40,000 pounds, got stuck in an old lakebed, where dry sand sat on top of a muddy mess.
The amazing rescue video was uploaded to YouTube by HeavyDSparks, a channel known for its love for the wildest vehicles.

Challenges faced during motorhome rescue
Heavy D, the man in charge, knew it wasn’t going to be easy, but he was ready for any challenge coming his way.
He and his team bought a crane and a few more heavy vehicles for the rescue.
To make things easy, they had to remove the front cover of the RV just to get better access to the tow point.
However, their first attempt at pulling it out failed when the receiver hitch ripped right off.
But that didn’t stop them.
For the second try, they decided to lift the RV off the ground using the crane.
After that, they filled the trenches where it had sunk.
This time, they attached the chain to the axle under the RV and, with a lot of hope, started pulling again.
It finally worked.
The RV was finally rescued
But just when they thought everything worked as planned, things got worse – even the crane got stuck in the sand.
That’s when the Kenworth truck came into play.
Although it got stuck, too, at first, a pickup truck managed to get it free. It was just like watching this Land Rover towing a giant truck.
With the Kenworth’s help, they pulled the crane out of the mud and then, at last, got the RV out, too.
It was definitely a big challenge for the team, but finally, the motorhome was rescued.
