I have the 17' Casita, and it has the slab door. But you do have to duck (which sometimes I don't do, LOL). dwain
I was in a specialty store some time ago, and found the perfect sign to help me remember.
They are actually
bath appliques with little suction cups all over the back. I cut the suction cups off of the one I used and mounted it with double stick tape. They come in a package of 6, and I have only used ONE.

Hi Frederick:
As you know, I have no protective hairy covering on the top of my head and the scar tissue is starting to accumulate. Because it is mostly due to inattention I think a copy of your ducky decal would perhaps offer a hope of stemming the blood flow. Do you take VISA? Or perhaps PayPal?
If you are amenable to a transaction please send me a PM so my people can talk to your people and set up a "flow" chart for this purchase.

There may be many appropriate responses to that picture, but I'll offer but a few:
"There for the grace of......"
"Now I'm a lot happier with what I have..."
"Genetic mutations......?"
"Oh, the humanity!!!!!........."
I feel a lot better now. Thanks.

Frederick,
Cute idea but I'm afraid most of the folks I know would have to suffer the consequences
before it would dawn on them why the "cute" sticker was there.

In my imagination, they would be visually attracted to the duck enough to be distracted, whack their heads, be standing outside rubbing their injured noggins and only then realize the significance of the duck.
Maybe we are just getting older and we are too slow on the uptake for the subtlety to register before the scalp shedding jog to the cranium takes effect.

Thanks, Fred, for the offer. I'd probably forget to look at the Duck. So far there's been no damage to my noggin. I can still think. LOL Dwain

On a serious note, I have found that the solution for low overhead clearances, esp when wearing a cap with a bill that restricts upward vision, is to hang something like string, ribbon, etc. from the obstruction so that it falls into my horizontal view and I am warned to take care.

This is what I like about this forum. People are enthusiastic about their trailers, about the places they go, about the little projects they undertake to improve them, and now there's a topic entirely devoted to interior duckerating.

Frederick,
After a couple years training with your Compact Jr. and its 55" door, I would think you would have the "stop, drop, & enter" down pretty well.
How soon we forget!

I tell people that It requires
genuflecting.
gen·u·flect (verb)
1. To bend the knee or touch one knee to the floor or ground, as in worship.
2. To be servilely respectful or deferential; grovel.
Entering is not as problematic as
exiting.

Thanks for the "rubber duckie," Frederick!
I ground those little suckers off and glued the critter up, as you can see.
Now maybe you could send one to Gina, but please include a little sign which says: "Never Mind!"

They somehow ended up in my car.. ALL of them. Maybe they imprinted on me... and followed... as ducks will do..

On a less serious note, us birdwatchers are trained to look UP when someone yells "Duck!!"
Maybe a visual reminder would work....
