Went camping with my 85 year old father in law, While I was hooking up the water for both rigs he hooked up his electrical. The panel box was right behind me, I turned and wham!!! A small cut to the right side of the bridge of my nose and a mouse under the eye.
The Eye has colored up real well in fact it looks like I have had a fight.
In this campground, the boxes are right at head level.

Was your father in-law still hooking up his electric when you hit it or was he finished and left it open? Kind of like running into an open cabinet door. OUCH!!

Yes, one night Tony walked into one of our bay doors, wham, right across the nose, cut and all. Looked like he had been in a boxing match, and he lost, LOL! Not to mention the time he ran around the front of the coach in the rain and BAM! Smack into the wing mirror! Be careful out there, people!

The driver's side rear slide over the electrical bay is the one that gets me most of the time. I pop out from under the bay door - right into the slide. My skinned up head wishes my brain would remember to clear both before telling my body to stand up straight.

The last MH we had, had the A&E awning with the arms coming from the side of the coach. Yup, WHAMMOLA!!! Luckily the egg on my forehead didn't hatch! 
Now I'm having a heck of a time remembering the Blue Ox prongs sticking out of the front of the Saturn. Yeah, that's when I decide to take them off. The scabs on my shins are still healing. 
Ummm..... sorry KC1BUD for hyjacking this thread.

I am always bumping my head, my wife asked me once why I bump it all the time I told her I lost my early warning(hair) and I get no warning to duck.

Unfortunately, between golf and obnoxious rv protrusions I seem to be adding to my dictionary of "select" freestyle swearwords. I try to do it with my mouth fully closed but unfortunately I'm getting better at vantriloquisim without trying. The other day my storage compartment said........uhhhh, never mind.

I saw one guy put on his hard hat each time he did something around his rig.
I figure he hit his head one time too many.

Anyone ever forget about the power cord of water hose and tripping over them. I have done it a few times. At 6"5" whacking my head on something around the motorhome is almost common place for me.
