Tressa Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 How many of you out there have hit your head getting in and out of the cab of your little RV? Nobody has ever told me that I would become the hunchback of Noterdam getting in and out of my rig. I hit the top of my head so many times in the same spot over the past few days. In fact one time it brought me to my knees...ouch and when I stood back up I hit it again. I am learning to lean over like the hunchback of Noterdam and take several steps out before I stand straight up. At least the bruises on the top of my head are healing. Seriously...is there anybody else besides me? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BobBeery Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I have frequently used cartop carriers on my small autos so I am already somewhat used to ducking. That said,I hit it about once a year, my wife two or three. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Derek up North Posted April 26, 2013 Share Posted April 26, 2013 I'm 6'-2". I guess I leaned to duck at an early age. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob C Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 I tell everyone to duck when getting out. they all look at me funny, until they forget to duck. A friend that helped me work on the MH constantly hits his head. He claims that the MH does not like him. I have gotten used to the duck walk when I get out. My wife and I keep saying "quack quack" when we park and get out. It is a personal joke that keeps the headaches away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Riverman77 Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 Our Micro-Mini's are often referred by other people as "Headbanger's". Their name calling to us folks makes sense. So, watch out when getting out! -Riverman77 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cardeablue Posted April 27, 2013 Share Posted April 27, 2013 After about ten times I developed a muscle memory reaction to duck. Don't even have to bat an eye. Now, as for those piano lessons... what year is it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"sucks to be you..look at me glide rite through" I had a friend come over to my Dolphin, and she's 4'10". She commented on how spacious it was, and so much head room. I was standing there with my head pressed against the ceiling, with the AC about eyebrow level. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
