You can't fix stupid

Was leaving the campground and a small new class A was pulling out in front of me with his slid out out. Tried to get his attention with no luck. After a few miles he pulled into a gas station and I followed. When he got out I asked him if he knew his slid was out were he said "of course it is it is not in storage". I said your are going down the road and it should be closed. He then told me the dealer told him the you close it when not camping and he is on a camping trip that is why it is open. Told him to call the dealer and ask if it should be open going down the road. CAN'T FIX STUPID.

If the OP is like a lot of us, he probably didn't think about pulling his smart phone out and taking a shot. I know there's been many times I've told DW I wish I would have taken a picture of something.

I thought a class A would not allow you to drive off with a slide out.

I talked to a guy at a campground that told me that on his first trip he forgot to close his slide driving down the road in a high dollar Motorhome .......... Wow !!!!! I guess it happens...........

The CW salesman probably did say leave it out when camping close it when in storage but forgot to tell him to close it while driving .

I can believe anything. Saw a TT towing a boat on Friday. The TT was being towed by a GMC SUV.

You also can't see anything in your mirrors but the slides when they're out!

You are assuming he uses his mirror mid 20s
