Brain Fade Due to Inactivity


Dennis M

Recommended Posts

Anyone else suffering brain fade from not being on the road the last two years? Headed out Thursday, first time the trailer has moved since September 2019! Inactive due to pandemic.

1st night the BigFoot auto level does not work. Front jacks OK, nothing else works. 2nd night, same thing. 3rd night I look at the operating instructions and discovered I was pushing the wrong button! Duh! Head slap! (speaking of which I walked into a slide with my head yesterday - first time I've done that in 20+ years!)

Told the DW "I fixed the jacks!" She had the temerity to ask "How?"! 

BTW - our rig will be for sale in October. Time to get off the road.

We too had our rig in storage since Sept 2019 when we bought our final house and left the fulltime life for good. A couple months ago we took it out for 2 weeks and all went OK. I am worried about brain fog as I do experience it a little from time to time. BUT time will come when .............

Always hear "IF you don't use it you loose it." I'm finding that even though I keep using it, sometimes it doesn't do as told, or is painful later. Yoga class yesterday, brain said don't try that body tried anyway, sore today.

Thanks for the reminder about head walking into the slideout.
We've been grounded mostly because of health issues but I loaded the camper onto the truck yesterday and took it for a short test drive spin.

I had remembered everything except to put air in the air bags and adjust the shocks to a higher setting. 
The ride was really cush till then.
