When you think you have checked everything, check it again! Last weekend I was on my way home from 10 days of camping at Defeated Creek Campground near Carthage, TN. I decided to take highway 70 to go home instead of the interstate. I was tooling down the road, looked in my rear view mirror and saw the emergency exit window glass blowing in the wind, like a wing. I was lucky that the rod did not poke a hole in the screen. When we were camping the DW wanted some air flow in the bedroom area so I opened the window and then thought I had closed it the next day. I did not make sure the rod was properly hooked back in the bracket. Something else to add to my checklist.
I'm a solo camper, so when I have camping visitors they always want to help. It's hard for me to tell them "no," so I give them something simple, like "police" the campsite for any trash, etc. I will have to make sure I check both windows with emergency rods.
By the way, we LOVE Defeated Creek Campground. Spent the first week of August out there!
