With homeschooling, and life in general, you never know when the learning is going to happen. That certainly was the case for us on this trip as I got a crash course in a little something I'd like to call RV 101 for dummies.
Never open a refrigerator door, no matter how thirsty you are ,when the RV is in motion. Not that I know this from experience of course. The bruise on my head is from something else.
After learning not to open the refrigerator in a moving RV, the next lesson to be learned is to double check that the unassuming looking refrigerator latch is in fact latched. Otherwise when you make a turn, the fully stocked refrigerator door opens and BAM---another lesson on the laws of motion and gravity.
And now onto the casualties. Oh yes, there were casualties.
The RV is just a wonderful invention. If only I could widen my house on demand and gain a few extra feet like you can on an RV. But with the opening and closing of the pop outs come another few lessons.
Make sure the snacks or any necessary item is not stored in the part of the cabinet that pops out. Otherwise you will not be able to access them again until the next time the pop out is open.
Have someone watch during the opening/closing the pop out. Otherwise your cabinet door may catch on something and get ripped completely off the hinges!
Listen to your daughter when she tells you for the fourth time that she feels sick. It is also advisable to forgo the strawberry jello and stick to light colored foods. Need I say more?
Pack lots and lots of paper bags, paper towels, lysol and um, Gorilla Glue.

Sorry about all the "casualties" so far! You will look back on it soon and laugh (or if not, at least you made me laugh).
Great tips!
Hope you're having fun none-the-less
