Intersection Lessons from Willard, Utah

 We’re taking a short break from sharing about our 5th wheel remodel to talk about something that happened yesterday here in Willard.

The RV park we workamp at sits right at a busy intersection. From the picnic table, you can literally watch drivers blow through red lights, speed up instead of slow down, drive aggressively, and push well beyond the posted limit. It’s become a daily show none of us asked to subscribe to.

Yesterday was no different — except this time there were consequences. One vehicle ran the light, and another car was t-boned in the intersection. It happened fast. The sound alone was enough to make your heart jump.

Thankfully, no one was transported to the hospital. That alone is a blessing.

One thing I will say: the Willard Police Department was incredibly fast to respond. Within minutes, officers, investigators, and volunteer support staff had the scene secured. Traffic was managed efficiently, statements were taken, and the intersection was cleared in about an hour. It was impressive to watch professionals handle a stressful situation so smoothly.

But here’s the reality for us as RV travelers: when your RV is your home, accidents hit differently. We’ve seen far too many crashes across Utah — especially wrong-way driving accidents and even railroad-related collisions. Some road designs can be confusing, yes. But distraction and impatience are playing a huge role. Phones. Speed. Aggression. The “minimum speed plus 15” mentality.

There’s no such thing as a Sunday drive anymore.

Because of what we’ve witnessed — and yesterday’s crash being one more reminder — we’re making absolutely sure our 5th wheel is covered with the best insurance protection possible. When your RV is your house, your office, and your investment, you don’t cut corners.

To fellow RV travelers:
Slow down.
Leave earlier.
Put the phone down.
Arrive safely.

You can’t control other drivers, but you can control your space, your speed, and your awareness. Defensive driving isn’t optional in today’s world — it’s essential.

We love this lifestyle. We love the freedom. But freedom also means responsibility.

Be careful out there. Your home is rolling down the highway with you.
