Over the years I've:-
- forgotten to lock the fridge door.
- closed the fridge door not realising I'd split a 2 pint plastic milk bottle, milk seen dripping from outside underbed locker, fridge seal full of milk meant door off for a good clean, underbed area near swimming in the white stuff, not good on a hot summers day.
- pulled van up a levelling ramp and unhitched without chocking or applying handbrake.
- tried to drive off with breakaway cable attached, just stopping in time.
- van rolled into car bumper, now have a plywood "plate" to drop in place when hitching/un-hitching
- soaked the lovely Mrs eribaMotters when lowering leg of wet Caravanstore canopy.
- driven off with step still out.
- door flew open on M25 - A12 roundabout junction, still don't know how.
- first long trip to France unitched van at end of 400 mile run and found I had negative noseweight as the back end went down [towed fine]
- first time I put van away on axle stands the back end tilted and hit the floor, now get the afore mentioned lovely Mrs eribaMotters to lean down on the tow hitch.
- left the draining board disc over the sink, fortunately it did not do its discuss trick.
- started to strip down the water heater I'd just installed as it was not working, only to realise I'd not put the fuse in the switch.

I'm sure I could think of more.
The reason why some think I know so much is because I've made so many mistakes to learn from.

These confessions can be so cathartic.
