Stress for the day. Leave RV park after proper walk around. A mile down the road a pedestrian points at us. No big deal -- but then again, someone points--. Pull over -- the curb side rear Girard is all the way out. (Roof mount). Hit NOTHING! just flapped I guess.
It comes in but not perfectly , the metal cover is 3/8 inch out of line at the front.
Off we go -- 1/4 mile, I see it coming out! (Now I've moved the mirror up so I can see it-- couldn't before)
Pull over-power it in- and use "Worlds strongest tape" to hold front in.
Off again-- Now the back starts coming out. 3 feet.
Now--- Cut the Friggen wires on the roof!

Unbelievable that no safety interlock to prevent movement in gear! (didn't have that awning out that day)
Just another Blue Bird screwup-- (I should say 450 screwup-- )

Ross, if you had gotten out on the highway, maybe with both sides out it would have been like an airfoil, lightened your rear end!
