Mine is really not that bad

I lost my power door locker recently and was like WTF. I can not even think of what was going through there minds.



She told him to open the slide not eject it.

Oh my! But to be honest, I think about that every time I open a slide.

And it will never change...amazing how tight we can hold our butt ever time we get ready to "push a button". Buying an RV is like marrying a young prostitute. She's gorgeous, really "fun to be with"...best we've ever had and we want everyone we know to see "her". BUT...we wouldn't trust her any further than we could throw a bulldozer and ever time we get her back home with no issues we feel like we've climbed Mount Everest.

For sure...one of my tricks I show everyone at the campground...I can crack pecans with my butt cheeks while moving the slide in and out.

Which does bring to mind a question. What DOES stop a slide at the end of its prescribed run? Is there a limit switch, mechanical barrier or is it just programmed into the controller?

I thought that they stopped, when a planned malfunction occurred...

That must be why it says "Tiffin" across the top of my RV: right?

JK...

Why?

If you feel so much apprehension, is it worth it? Doesn’t that take some of the fun out of traveling?

Thanks, but no thanks. I’d much rather have an extra couple of feet added to RV length with zero moving parts, zero leaks, etc.

At least it didn’t fall on a bunch of campers sitting on the picnic table next to them.


Could have been really ugly.
