Head Bangin' Bedroom Slides

Apr 242011

In my travels I have noticed a lot of 5ers have those swim noodles on the edges of their bedroom slides. I know why they are there and figured they are good idea. Since my new 5er has a bedroom slide I figured I would get some to put on my slide, I just haven't gotten around to doing it yet.

Guess I waited too long. Today while doing some work in the slide side basement I swung around and walked smack into the edge of the slide. Guess I'll be heading out to the store tomorrow to pick up a noodle or two.

I finally have a few days of decent weather so it was time to start prepping the new Cruiser. Lots of things on the table to do so I started on some simple items that will help make my trips easier and more organized.

One thing I have always felt was a pain was what to do with the electric cord when storing it. No matter where I put there always seemed to be something on top of it or it was a tangled mess when I wanted to plug in. When I stop to camp it is normally one of the first things I get out and one of the last things I put away when I leave. I wanted to put it in a place that was easy to get to and wouldn't get tangled in everything else. The problem is that just laying in on the floor of the basement isn't always possible because of all the other stuff packed in there. It just lays on top of other things and get tangled up with whatever else is there.
