The number one spot involving the Winnebago and the cruise control seems to appear on all these things, but I hadn't seen the first lot before. Enjoy.
On a more technical note - how does this happen? For example in British law, whilst the owners of premises do have a duty of care towards occupants (and a more limited one towards trespassers) most of these would never wash over here. Does the law need changing in the States? Is it simply quirky laws in individual states? I can't help thinking that this furniture store might have been ruined by her payout... Quote:

The Winnebago thing is almost an urban legend.

I'm pretty sure all of those are urban legends:
