NO! NO! No! no! no..no..sob

Experienced RV’er Eric here with an important tip for you newbies out there.  You newbies do the funniest things!

I really shouldn’t have to tell you this!

Tip #25

When departing your campground, always retract your awning before driving down the road.

It just makes good, common sense.  You silly newbies!

Yeah, that’s gonna hurt… the pocket book!  No easy “Wardlaw Fix” here. Once that metal is twisted and bent and screws are ripped from wall,  it is a bear to straighten.

It still kinda works. The motor gets bound up when trying to reel in the awning, though. I think I’ll just leave it rolled in for now.

I guess I’m lucky the National Park service is not suing me for damaging their “Drive Safely” sign post as I exited the campground.

If anyone would like to donate to the “Wardlaw Awning Needs Trust” (WANT), please contact me through this blog.

You know how much I love and care for you all and would gladly help you in a similar time of need.

 

(I remember I had just received an email from Bren addressed to me and Dwight, so I was thinking about Dwight, so it was DWIGHT’S FAULT!)

  1. Ouch! Honestly, there should’ve been a pot for when this type of thing would happen! Who had Aug 4th??

    1. I’m trying to help you corporate ladder climbers get some new and innovative safety observations for your mandatory safety reports. I don’t just talk about safety hazards, I create them! (wait, what?)

  2. Another hint. Always make sure your slide outs are back in. Wouldn’t want to rip off half of your den.
    I would gladly be willing to contribute to your W.A.N.T Fund. I am sure by now you must have at least 15-20,000 blog followers. If everyone would just pitch in a dollar, you would have the fix covered.
    Just send me the info. on how to donate my $1.00.

    I hope you can still take a joke.
    You may want to consider that Go Fund Me site.
