OOPS.
RV drawers when working correctly (or is that closed correctly?) stay closed. In our Lazy Daze, the bathroom door opens to close off the kitchen/dining area from the rest of the RV. (So, cool!) We drove the RV back to storage after spending Christmas tearing out carpet and airing it out. Because we had items on the floor in the back we didn’t want to slide into us should we have to stop short, we had the bathroom door opened to close off the front from back.
And so that brilliant idea had a flaw in its execution. The drawer in the wardrobe on the back side of the door opened. Leon tried shoving his huge hands in the tiny gap; I shoved mine in , but neither of us could close the drawer. He had the mechanical skills, but large hands; I had only a weak tiny hand. Not the BEST scenario was it? We got it to close only a few inches between the two of us.
Now what?
Let’s see, tear down the door? No. Break a side window and climb in to shove in the drawer? No. Then, I had an idea. (Leon hates those words, it usually means work for him.)
Leon had just received from our son a driver (golf club) for Christmas. It happened to be up front with us. I suggested Leon (being 6′ tall), try putting the club over the door and push the drawer in; the door does not go all the way to the ceiling.
He did it! Our first RV story, lol, and this is a reason to smile, both for his success and our first RV OOPS.
What is your reason to smile? (You don’t have to share it if it’s a secret, but think it, at least.)
I’ve missed you. Glad to hear from you. and so glad I visited here today. My parents bought a ‘fifth wheel’ last spring (a Scamp I think they call it).. they hooked it to their truck and drove off to Oregon and back this Fall.. took a month to do it. They had ADVENTURES. I should share some of their photos on my blog.
.-= Shelby´s last blog ..I don’t mind =-.
Shelby, I’ve missed blogging, I’ve concentrated on reading blogs by RVers since we were planning to get one, but I’m back! I’m so excited for your parents. I know you wish you had been there. One of these days you and I both will live out that way.
Then, I had an idea. (Leon hates those words, it usually means work for him.)
ROFL
Doesn’t every man?
Cute story.
Everyman, but poor Leon has heard those words as work for him for 35 plus years and repeated more than most women dare, lol. Glad you thought the story cute, thank you, TC.
