I'm dumb enough that I've even stood up too soon coming out from under the front. Man does that ever scrape down your back.

Walked into 5'r overhang at full speed walk. I blame the baseball hat visor. Knocked me flat on my A$$.
A great invention would be a baseball hat with on of those back up sensor things, that I have on my truck.

welcome to the forum.
You should start your own "new" thread for your question as your question is considered hyjacking another persons post. When you post your question you need to give the trucks GVWR/RAWR/FAWR and your tire type and load range.

I keep two red remove before flight flags with clips to hang at each cornor of the bedroom slide and another for the pin box. Dang things can be downright dangerous if the 5er is nose high on a unlevel pad.

Have been initiated into that club a long time ago.
While in the Army I was running around our tank at night in the woods of Germany, I forgot all about the gun that was always positioned at it's lowest depression so that stuff didn't make it's way down the barrel at night, anyway I ran into the fume extractor at full tilt, that was a hard hit!
Didn't even budge the 12 ton gun!!!! But it knocked me on my keester.......
Have also purchased the foam pipe insulation to cover the slide, as I had visions of that gun popping out of nowhere when I ran into the slide a couple of years ago.............

OK, I have a question. What do you do to jog your memory to remove the "noodles" before you put your slides in??

Jim has a great idea with the "Remove before Flight" tags.

Don't take off your cap; pad it!
I knocked myself silly last week while camping, but it was on an open cupboard door. I never realized how well made that camper was until then.
I also never realized how much hair I'd lost since my last head cut. The bandage stuck just fine!

We just got our very first 5'er this summer and I've "clocked" myself a few times. I thought I brought blood one time, but fortunately I didn't...I guess my DW would say I'm "hard headed"!
