Ive only had the troll abit over a week and on sunday I backed into a light pole.

slowly getting used to driving a bus!!
its just a tiny bit bigger than the "3 foot long" sierra.

I didn't really think anything of it coz it was rather slow and its just the spare that
nudged the light pole, but this afternoon I noticed it has bent the right hand barn door abit.
nothing major but Im still disappointed in myself!!

Ha ha ha.... I hit a tree on the weekend and stuffed around for a while yesterday fixing it up as best I could... lucky the wheel carrier took the brunt and I had a spare one.

Doors come up on ebay and face ache all the time for pretty cheap

Bugger mate. Depending on the colour it will probably be easiest to find another door and bolt it up.

Ive had a quick look for another door, seems the silver/grey isn't all that popular!?

I know how you feel. I had my Patrol about 3 weeks when I backed into the metal sign post outside BCF. The spare took the brunt and no damage but dam I was disappointed in myself too and I have a reversing camera hahahahahaha.

No excuse for that then!

Takes a bit to get used to looking down at the reversing camera instead of watching the mirrors.

Can agree with that, never remember to look at the screen when driving the loaders at work.

Glad I'm not the only one, I was pretty cheesed off when my I backed into my gate.

We could start a club but we'd be overrun with members, so not much point. No exclusivity!

Yep I have backed into a tree, but unfortunately missed the spare and took out the back step.

I backed into a tree on Fraser Island last October, could not see it because of sun glare.
Fortunately there was only a little damage to the bumper, never hit either door.
