Have you thumped your fire extinguisher lately?

If you have a dry chemical extinguisher the powder in it can pack down . It's a good idea to occasionly tip the extinguisher upside down and and thump it hard on the bottom a few times.

I thump my head on the slide-outs pretty regular, helps keep my mind sharp.

I thumped the RV, vehicle and stickhouse extinguishers. So how often do they need a "thumping"? Hopefully 8.1al puts out another reminder when "it's time".

Nice to hear Jetson's mind is as sharp as the slideout corners. I plan to put pool noodles on my slideout corners. I guess this means my mind will become as soft as the corners of my slideouts? I'm not looking forward to that.
