Number of times this week that I've already hit my head on the slide while getting the Whale ready to go away this weekend. RVing is a contact sport...lol [emoji35]

I still have blood on my driveway from working under the mh.

Will add head injury to long list of why I don’t want a slide.

One of the benefits of being short, I guess. I can walk under our bedroom slide without bending over. lol

Those old style manual awning arms on our last RV however....

Get one of those big long pool noodles and wrap around the slide arm after you deploy it. When the seasons over you can cut it in half and you and your missus can whack each other with it.
