That crunching, cracking sound that says you messed up.

How many of you have opened/closed your slides and forgot to close a cabinet door only to hear that dreaded sound that means you will be replacing a cabinet door. I have the distinct honor of tearing off 2 doors with my main slide. Fortunately the hinges broke loose and no major damage other than replacing the hinges and repairing a crack in the wood with wood glue. I wanted to look up stupid in the dictionary but I was afraid I might see my picture.

  • Not good. We have come very close a couple of times. Glad it worked out for you reasonably well.
    It could have been worse......:M

  • Remember to adjust the driver's seat forward to it's normal position when closing the slide-out. If not, you need to be quick!
  • Mine has an attached bunk ladder that must be set in it's holder before the slide can come in. And yes. We have forgotten it once. Stopped in time fortunately
