Non-secured items getting loose during travel
In my years of RV'ing, I've had a few things go flying around the RV during transit. With my maiden voyage in our Bullet, two items got loose. One was the flat plastic cover over the kitchen sink. It ended up on the floor, where I don't believe it caused any damage. The second was the upper cushion of the couch. It too fell harmlessly on the floor. So for the ride home, the kitchen sink cover was placed in the cabinet and the couch cushions were placed on the bed. We were fortunate nothing major got loose.
With our previous TT, one of the drawers came loose, and then with all the bumping it bent the track, eventually snapping one completely off. I managed to straighten out the track and reattach it to the wall, and get the drawer back to the retracted position. I then taped the rails so that the drawer could never come loose again. We never used that particular drawer anyway.
One time I was getting the TT ready for a trip, and decided to drive around the block to test and adjust the brake controller. But I forgot that I still had a little TV up on the shelf in the bedroom area. When I got back to the house after the test run, the TV had fallen off the shelf on to the bed, and then fell on to the floor, putting a nice hole in the wall a couple feet off the ground. By some miracle the TV did not break, and actually still worked. I was never able to fix that hole in the wall, and when I traded it in last week, the salesman asked if I got mad once and punched the wall. LOL
What items in your TT have gotten loose when you were in transit?
