Subject:Re: Oops... did it again! Backed into garage with vent open!

Yes, 

I almost did this once.  So close! 

But I do two things to remember. First I almost never open it.  It just isn’t worth the risk! 

If camping is the only time.  If open, I put a Bandanna or some other marker on my Buese shelf so when I lower the top I remember the vent.  If I was not blind I’d tie a bandanna to the steering wheel as a reminder.  Just saying I’ll remember never works!

Good luck with the new one!
