Mistakes Along the Way

As in all things, there is a learning curve.  Well, living in an RV is no different.  Here is our ongoing list of the mishaps we have made and hopefully have learned from.

 

Moving Day Preparations:

1. Forgot to secure office's sliding barn door. 2/2019
2. Forgot to secure TV against the wall. (we got lucky on that one for nothing happened) 3/2019, 4/19/19
3. Left two front leveling blocks.  3/2019 
4. Forgot to secure the glass shower doors.  (We had to pull off the side of the interstate and lock them down.) 4/2019
5. Forgot to secure the closet doors in the master bedroom.  (Resulted in broken $30 latch)  5/2019
6. Forgot to secure the refrigerator doors.  (Food was rolling around everywhere .5/2019
7. Forgot to remove the clock from the wall.  (We now need a new clock.) 8/2019

9. Don't store anything on the sofa that can get caught when slide outs are deployed.  9/2019

Set Up Mistakes:

1. Almost hit a gas pipe. (bought back up camera!) March 2019

Driving Mishaps:

1. Pulled into a gas station in small-town America just to realize we still stuck out in the middle of the road and were blocking traffic.  Oops!
2. Hit a keep off grass post with side of rv. $1,200 mishap!

The Learning Curve:

1. Learned we needed to remove sofa cushions so they do not get caught in slide outs.  Feb 2019 
2. Learned propane freezes. Mar 2019
3. Made a moving day prep list and posted it on the refrigerator. 
4. Always have a water filter and pressure reducing valve on hand!
5. Check propane levels before it runs out!
