We haven't had the motorhome long enough for such fun. But I'm sure it won't be long before we customize it.
On our fiver... we had a plastic tailgate (one of those designed for 5ers) on the truck which developed an issue about staying up. It came down and dragged itself across the front storage door.
On the way out of the repair shop with a BRAND NEW DOOR, yup, the gate fell and we didn't notice and ruined it in less than 5 minutes. That was Door number 2.
Mentioned to DH that perhaps that tailgate needed to be dumped - literally. And he agreed but of course, didn't react..
SOOO...during a camping trip a month later, it happened again. Door 3. The repair shop thought this was all quite amusing and had our part number handy at all times.
And yes, the stupid tailgate is history.
Gotta have a sense of humor with this lifestyle.
