PSA January 18, 2020, 07:43:39 pm A few days ago my wife Elizabeth broke her ankle stepping out of our RV. She was in the process of getting that last beautiful desert sunset near JTNP. Lesson .... Be careful stepping on the stairs on exit. Glen

Now in my later years I find myself doing that very same thing. It's comparable to going up and down a ladder! 3 Likes

Now in my later years I find myself doing that very same thing. It's comparable to going up and down a ladder! Indeed, add me to the "ladder" brigade. Going in I will often set items on the floor/slide them into the kitchen, & then pick them up once inside, with the reverse sequence for exiting backwards, which keeps my feet on stable surfaces/hands on the handholds.Here's hoping for a speedy/uneventful recovery for your wife, Glen, & restoration of equilibrium to you both (for it's never the patient alone who goes through such storms).Lynne 3 Likes
Re: PSA Reply #4 – January 19, 2020, 09:18:00 am Glen, sorry to hear about your wife. Wishing her a speedy recovery.We have some friends who, at the time, had a class A with an electric step. The step failed to deploy one time and the wife, who was carrying a cake, took a bad tumble.
Re: PSA Reply #5 – January 20, 2020, 12:00:55 am I always hold onto something substantial exiting. It occurred to me that, as a solo traveler, I'd better be careful. I'm with Lynne on setting things on the floor and then getting in. Those objects also discourage the cats from exiting.-Judy
