After my first red-light I checked my drivers side mirror to realize the bedroom slide was still 10 inches out. Oops ! Therefore always check all mirrors and walk around to inspect prior to pulling out.

Trying to get an unpermited wide load ticket?

I've heard of 5'rs being stopped and having to remove their side ladders as the HP watched.

Anytime I work on the coach, I do the same ritual first...find a BB cap.

I’ve just given up and accepted that I’m going to crack my head open on that same cabinet corner over and over again. After doing it enough times I find that for some reason I have instinctively developed sub- conscious ability hold my head lower when I walk anywhere near that same cabinet. I’m sure it will wear off and Wham I’ll getter again!

Don’t park your 31’ class A in the ditch because there is no other place to park! If you don’t listen to that advice than don’t be surprised if when you try to back out the same way you got in, … If you can get it out! ... you find yourself backing into a power pole that the DW couldn’t see while she's looking out the back window! …. ME: “I have it in reverse … why am I not going anywhere?” DW: “YOU! backed into a power pole!” ME: "[ moderator edit ]”

Don’t trust you’re GPS when it tells you to turn off and onto a road that is obviously NOT a road! … If you decide to trust the GPS and find yourself four miles farther down … which you now realize is an old railroad bed converted into a bike trail with no place to turn around, chances are you will come to a railroad bridge with only 4” of clearance to each side of your MH. …. Can you hear the wooden boards creek as I cross the bridge with my 31’ Pace Arrow, all the while try to explain to my freaked out DW that it should hold our weight? ….. The first bridge was the hardest! …. DW wouldn’t look down to the ravine bottom which was around 75’ below!

Never say "watch this"

Don't park to close to the curb, I did and when I open the door the step hit the curb and broke the lever that exstends the step.
A frind left the camp grounds one time without his wife she never let him forget it eather.
Just a thought.

Don't put your cover on until the outside furnace vent cools. Melts a little hole in the cover. Sure wish I had finished the garage this year.

Why? I've been using it for more years than I care to admit and have NEVER had a tank problem. But that's only my experience since 1957 too, YMMV!

You should, after the AW

Sorry, but wrapping straps around the awning will NOT keep it from unfurling. You need to keep the awning roller from turning and the straps don't do it.

I never turn my "Step-Out" button on until I get to my campsite. Even at home, when I'm in and out.
