Who here has trailer hitch shins or had a good laugh when the other half orneighbor did?
Who has flat head from hitting underside of Fifty Wheel.
Who has flt forehead from turning around and smacking the slide out squarely in the forehead/face?
How about slide out flat head?
Mirror forehead or face?guiltinedd by trees
Flat face and body from Falling out of entry because someone locked the step in the in position?
Sewer hose bathing?
Flat spotted tires on towed.
Drug the sewer hose, or power cord/pedistal down the highway or water hose.
Awnings out, tv antenna guillotined by trees
Who has said I never will?

    Oh God I hope this never happens to me.

  • I have many times come out of especially a Walmart store, and had to stand and think where did I park and then next is - what city am I in? Which direction do I go when I leave? I always remember after a moment, but they all look alike and you could be in any city. We have probably been to several hundred Walmarts in the 9 years full-time.

    There’s also those moments of, in the immortal words of Christopher Columbus, “Where the heck am I? “.

    I routinely drive from zero dark thirty AM until late into the night, park, rack out, rinse and repeat.

    Then there’s the mornings after doing the above, and I still have blood in my caffeine stream, and I get on the road in the morning and hit the interstate and see I-XX North that way, South that way, and I look down at the GPS and it says I’m ALREADY heading north or south (because that part of the N/S Interstate actually runs E/W) and my brain goes into melt-down mode until I remember which way I’m supposed to be heading........
  • Wake up in the middle of the night and don't know where you are? California or Maine or Florida or Wisconsin type "don't know"???
