elastic netting over slide opening

Put the slide out and heard this awful metal crunching, quickly found the issue.

Since then we've just become diligent about checking it.  It's part of our open/shut process.  This includes checking the slide on the outside, because uhm one time I caught the grill rack in the slide as it was pulling in.

So now, it's power on, water on, check slide for sink hoses or misc items.  When we close up to go home, power off, water off, check slide inside and out before retracting.

DW usually keeps an eye on things inside while on a trip so it's easy to know nothing is in the way on the return.  When arriving at camp we both are conscious of what we store on the floor in travel and look for it before sliding out.

For us, we learned our lesson and developed a routine to remedy the situation without any physical type of change needed.

Sure do miss that sign though....

That is indeed true.  If you ever Pod with us as we setup or breakdown camp you'll hear me yell into the windows or the DW yell out of the windows..

Slide Clear Inside (CHECK)

Slide Clear Outside (CHECK)

Maybe you'll end up like us then and not need to modify it Gypsy, I don't think we'd ever forget it again, I'm betting you wouldn't either?  If you do though, be sure and let us know what you come up with, it's threads and discussion like these that clue in the next round of owners new to their Pods to be aware of this possibility.

Verifying with the boss is always recommended!
