I am pushing the brake pedal so hard when we unhook, I'm surprised it doesn't break. When you get out of your routine, things seem to spiral. We pulled in to our site yesterday, opened the galley slide out and CRACK!. Stopped it but the cabinet door unlatched during the drive and it tore off the trim around the slide out GRRR. Then hubby went to open the shades and the plastic anchor broke and the shades came tumbling. Time for a long walk! at least it wasn't raining!Cherylhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10963752079169497181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-63326514006501553952013-06-25T07:44:33.052-04:002013-06-25T07:44:33.052-04:00Yikes!

It was a good lesson for me. One that I decided never to repeat, but in certain circumstances you're out of your normal routine and these kinds of things can happen so easily. Thanks for the reminder!Karen and Alhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15284661066870109259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-47998301773877587362013-06-24T23:57:29.725-04:002013-06-24T23:57:29.725-04:00I am behind on blog reading, but to make you feel ...I am behind on blog reading, but to make you feel better I wanted to tell you about a time we had a similar situation only we were on a hill when we couldn't make the turn in a campground, had to unhitch, but neglected to do one critical thing: set the emergency brake! Yes, our Jeep went flying down an embankment only to be stopped by a large tree. $8000 and a new Trek bike later, everything was fine. Needless to say, we almost always unhitch at the entrance unless one of us has walked the route for a pull-through.

I'll bet Al could drive in circles with my little 24' rig with all the tight spots he's gotten out of.<br /><br />After reading your posts about Live Writer, I've got to get it. I tried last night, but had trouble finding a download compatible with Windows 8. I'll keep searching. I've always used Blogger, and like it, but sometimes getting the photos situated correctly can be really time consuming.

On our very first trip I put inexpensive rain ponchos and a couple of foldin umbrellas in a storage nitch over the door. It rains in winter in California and I wanted to be prepared. Haven't used them yet, but it's one less thing to pack.Merikayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378095339747943548noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1012334620640049242.post-50211922351095102742013-06-24T10:46:55.358-04:002013-06-24T10:46:55.358-04:00So sorry about your miserable day.

I think most of us who have towed have one time or another been stuck trying to unhook at a horrible angle. Not fun.
