Another lesson learned

[RVcircus]

This weekend, we did some driveway camping at a family members house. We wanted to get out for a quick trip just to make sure everything was working for the start of the season and their kids were wanting to sleep in the camper. On the ride over I looked in the mirror as we were making a turn and I swa one of the exit windows flopping in the wind. One of the kids unlatched the window while playing inside and I never thought to check it before we left. I now have one more thing added to my check list before hitting the road;) Other than that everything went as planned and the kids had a blast driveway camping.

Not a chance!!! They did this before we left and I didn't see the unlatched window.

Same thing happened to me, but someone traveling behind got my attention to tell me it was open and flopping.

We do foster care and always camping with newbie kids. I learned to check everything but still last trip we had a storage door opening. LOL Worst was when I left the canoe paddles on my roof. Sure hope they did not hit anyone. Sheeesh

A recurring problem I get is because the water pump is turned off while in the driveway, the first time I turn on the water pump I get water flow in the kitchen and/or bath becuase little fingers play with the faucets.

We're not that lucky!!! They on the list of things to pack for quite a while.

I always do a walk around the rig before getting under way from home, campground, fuel stop, rest area stops, etc. I check for open windows, open utility connections, unlocked doors and storage compartments, hitch still set up as should be, umbililical cord still hooked up, low tires, etc. I have added the windows to that list when we had our old TT when DS didn't latch the egress window by his bunk and it was flapping for a few miles before I caught it in the mirror.

With kids around you never know what can happen, but would never trade them for anything.
