We have this 40ft 5th wheel and if you don’t know what that is, it is a big ass travel trailer that has 4 slides and sleeps 8… It really is nice and we bought it, in 21, so we could take our kids to Disney World and not have to board our dogs, we don’t like leaving our animals with anyone… That being said, this is what is going on and why the 911 could happen…

This is the living area and right and left are slides and they pull in all the way to the island… So what happened???

This happened and it happened as I was opening the slide… The whole mechanism ripped out of the wall… Cables are everyplace and it’s going to be the hardest repair I have ever done, because???

That slide isn’t moving… It weighs hundreds of pounds and Homer and I, yea, laughing, not happening on moving that sucker, so I have to crawl up there and repair it laying on my belly…

So why 911… WELLL…. I thought of doing it this way and realized, I was stoned…

I crawl up there and drop over the side into the living area and then Homer he does same and we both put our ass on the floor between the two slides and we push for all we are worth to get it opened and when we don’t succeed, we call 911…

The fire department will have to arrive and figure out how to get that slide open, because, ain’t a snow balls chance in hell, we can climb back up and lift our bodies to the top of that slide…. SO????

So after laughing our ass’s off with that suggestion… I am climbing up there today and start the repair process and once I fix it and get the slide to open… Then I can gain access to the other 3 and tear them apart and put 5 bolts in it like the manufacturer recommends instead of what Dutchman Atlas did by only installing 4 and all 4 slide motors are tearing out of the wall, because it doesn’t have that 5th bolt…

$70,000 travel trailer and they screw us daily by saying buy American made… I am so ready to set that trailer on fire or get some kick ass fireworks and shove them inside!!!!

I can’t sell this, until I fix all 4 slide mechanisms, so off the market it goes, till I can do the repair… We got zero response from the mobile repair… So over worthless humans…

Anyway, that was our laugh this morning, seeing us stuck in the 5th wheel because we haven’t the strength to push that slide out… Old age has it’s advantages…

I remember…
