1. If you have a security post on your drive and you cannot see it from the cab, attach a reminder to your steering wheel with "SECURITY POST!!" in big letters.
2. Use a local garage or mate to remove the security post dent from your motorhome, its much cheaper than a main dealer.

[quote="Zebedee"]If you hook up at home, hang the cable over the driver's door mirror.
We were leaving for France early one morning a few years ago. Neil was locking up and I thought I bring the MH around to the front door. I drove off and Neil came around the corner and put his 2 hands on his head. I said "What". I had pulled of the blue electric cable and box completely off the MH. He had pluged it in the night before to get the freezer going. We drove to France before we could fix it. The air was a bit blue for the start of the holiday but we soon got over it.

I was more fortunate - or was I???
Didn't damage the truck, but the cable got caught in Mrs Zeb's newly planted window box and pulled it off the wall.
The bruises soon faded though and I only needed one stick after a fortnight.
Buy a hard backed notebook. In the front write a diary; things you ate, sites you stayed at and how much they cost, what you did, first impressions - anything that will make you smile, bring back happy memories, help you plan your next trip and so on.
In the back keep a To Remember list and write all those things you've forgotten, decided to modify, decided to leave at home, want to buy in future, want to see next trip and so on.
I've kept these diaries since the 60s and they still give me a lot of pleasure to read.

Carry a tow rope so when you get stuck on a CL, like we did this weekend, you can just wait for an eager tugger with 4 x 4 to pull you out. We had to borrow a tow rope from the farmer but we then has three 4 x 4's offering help. My thanks to each.
ps. 15 years tugging never got stuck - but the tap was at the muddy end of the field!!

Found this tip on here after many a wet foot and splashed bathroom wall. Push in the yellow button on the back of your Thetford tank when emptying, it just flows out with no glugging at all, it lets air in the back, thanks to the person who told me about this last year.
What they did fail to mention is : if you press the afore mentioned button when tipped slightly the other way it pours out the yellow button all over your hand. Yep, done it more than once now but learning fast!!

If you have an overhead bed and leave it pulled out to save time every night, hang a scarf down the middle so every time you go to your front seats you don't bang your head, and bang your head, and bang your head, and bang your head, ..... the scarf eventually acts as a reminder to duck!
