Even though I don't live in the snow belt, I do lower the stabilizers when it is home in our driveway. I don't see a down side in doing so.

For those of us in the snow belt should the stabilizer jacks be extended to take up just enough weight to keep the frame flat if we receive a heavy snowfall that can't be cleared immediatly?

PodWa,
THANKS.. I copied and pasted to my list. I added a couple things because I have a POD mounted genset, battery box secure, propane tank secure, spare tire secure and of course tire pressure check. Drain valves closed. |

Blue Highways- I was lucky enough to spot that problem, having been unlucky with another slide-out. I had a piano hinge that would have done it, but chose to go with two smaller hinges instead. This way, if I fail to notice something in that gap, the panel just swings out of the way - no damage done!

Hi PodWa!
Love your departure checklist. I image an arrival checklist might include the reverse of a lot of these items, but i wondered it you had a chance to get your thoughts together on this one? Newbie looking to learn from others, Thanks!

Good point, Bum! While towing, we had a kitchen drainer rack tumble from the counter into that very cavity once. When I began to extend the 179's slide, the kitchen drainer started pushing apart the panel mounted below the fridge. Took me a few more seconds to figure out the heck what was going on. Some damage occured.
I had to fix and remount this dummy panel with stronger screw connections. For this accident, I was glad for once that the factory had not mounted this panel with very strong screw-bites, and the far right side screw was misaligned, missing its grab entirely. So FR's haste actually lessened the damage. Now, before extending the slide each time, I get down on my knees with a pocket LED to retrieve any stowaway objects behind there. It's become a routine. This is a "must-add" warning item for owners of the 179 floorplan, at least. Thank you for mentioning this, B!
