Back when I worked as an auto/light truck tranny guy trainee at a Dodge
dealer,
we were asked to take on a tranny replacement in an RV that would have gone to
the heavy truck/RV section of the shop if it hadn't been fully booked.

The RV was driven into our bay and half of it stuck out the back.  The guy
"training" me said we would just raise the front half of the RV enough to
do the job.  However, out of habit, he raised the back post of our twin-post
lift, which punctured a holding tank.... The service manager was pissed,
to say the least.
