I did it again, argh!!!!!!!!

Placing the reminder in a more useful area might help. Our antenna crank is on the far side of the rv where I would not notice it. Placing a reminder on the steering wheel of the tow vehicle will be annoying and quite often ignored. Placing a reminder in an area that will be visited only when the rv is moved like at the hitch, on the chocks, or at the pedestal might do the trick.

I left the antenna up this summer but was lucky enough to catch it when I pulled into a rest area and looked back at the rig. I stopped and bought a little red warning tag about 3 inch sq with a small chain and clip on it. I clip this to the bedroom slide button after setting up. Now when I put the slides in I am reminded about the antenna. when I lower the antenna the tag comes off and goes in the panty by the coffee.

HI EVERY ONE I DID THE SAME TWICE,INSTALLED LOW PORFILE ATANA WORKS GREAT

Found This online. Looks like it might help and inexpensive

TV Antenna Reminder

My wife ties a length of pink wool onto the crank handles to remind us. It's on her side of the bed. She sometimes gets tangled up with it so it's a good reminder, for us anyway.

Go to a place like harbor freight and buy a pack of 12 key tags. Write on them different things like tv antenna - ac on - roof vent - propane on - stove vent unlocked ect. Beside your slide control put a cup hook or several if needed and as you open, turn on, or use different things that need to to be stowed when you get ready to leave you know what they are. Have a hook or two somewhere else to hang tags when you put the stuff away. Hopefully you won't drive off with your slide out so this is where the reminder needs to be. Also last thing you do before leaving site---------walk around and look over / under / and in between before driving off!!!!

"Old age is affecting my mind........"

Aw no,
say it ain't so.

I have deduced that this old age thing is like a continuously variable transmission. It just keeps up-shifting, allowing it to gain momentum so our minds can't keep up.

I always do my walk around inspection . And usually I do it twice

Listen Pan, The last lookaround you do on your trailer should be from atop of the picnic table peering at the roofline. if you get into that habit you'll never dis the antenna again.

I use a piece of ribbon like a "remove before flight" tag. I installed a small hook so it hangs in front of the slide control switches.

I use the same hook for a ribbon marked "slide brace" when the locking bar is on top of the slide during travel. If that bar is not removed before I try to run the slide out, it will rip the fascia off of the inside of the slide. (Don't ask!)
