Subjects: Camping Scenes of Errors in Judgement:
Outside rooftop antenna not down while moving – tree limbs, overhangs and wires catch our antenna and damage it.
Extended step not retracted before moving – curbs, gates, gate pedestals, and other moving and stationary objects are contacted and cause damage.
Tire pressure not checked and overloaded or under pressurized tires fail, the “gator” rubber separates from the tire and causes wheel well and sidewall damage.
We do not hold the sewer hose in place while dumping, and get gunk all over our shoes and/or clothing.
We do not check the lights on our ‘toad’ (towed auto behind motorhome) and someone rear ends us – not enough warning time to tell them we are stopping.
We leave our water hose attached and left on while away from our rig – we come back to find the entire rear of the RV flooded from a break
We forget, as we travel, electrical wiring and pipes may vibrate, chafe and break or short out. Be careful, when hooking up after a long day, water may leak, things may vibrate loose, and electrical systems may be damaged.
Open a cabinet after traveling with caution, stuff may fall out and injure you or damage itself.
Check the torque on your lug nuts, wheels do fall off.
Lose your sewer hose on the pavement, the cap fell off of the sewer holder.
Leave your awning(s) out while traveling – or during a windstorm.
Please list your favorite goofs – we all enjoy a good laugh.
Happy New Year!
