Just when you think you have checked everything

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.

    We have a rule when we pack up.....inside and outside jobs!

    My hubby has all the outside things to pack and that includes making sure the stove vent cover is closed and latched, ( suprisingly many forget to latch it and it disappears)

    My job is the inside, including all windows and window coverings.

    We both hitch the trailer, he on one side doing up one sway bar, me on the other. He does the lights I do the chain.

    It works for us. LOL, though we both tend to check each others work
    Ditto!!!! only when we're hooking up the 5th wheel hitch.....He goes for it, I watch and supervise. :) works for us!

    We do the same thing. DW does the inside and I do the outside and then we switch to double check each others work. Then we meet at the hitch.

  • I never touch those windows because I will forget about them. They are also not the easiest to open
