After my son nailed his head three times on the slide out on our last trip he magically quit hitting his head. Besides, I like to use the noodles in the lake. Now if I can just keep him from hitting his head on the inside top of the slide we'll have accomplished something. :B

If the kiddos are looking down at the ground and the edge is about their head height they'll not see it.
I've seen others use the pool noodles, but I would suggest adding some streamers..... or else find something to put on the ground under the corners.

Pool noodles everywhere. On the slide edges, a couple of short one on the pin box, and on the power cords and sat cables.
Any color as long as it is bright, and new ones every other year.

Good idea. We use them to keep the bikes from wearing each other out.

I put up some of this safety tape but I still run into it just about every time I walk around the trailer...
