    WARNING, that friggen string (cable) will break, and when it does, you have to get a skinny guy to crawl through from the other side.
    Now when this happened, it is real easy to drill a hole directly above it and install a wire, so that if it ever breaks again I will have access. I would have done before hand if I had thought of it.

    Don't pull the string! Save it for when the U.S. Marshalls are beating on your sleeper. You'll thank me later!

    Does it allow the window to pop out to escape the sleeper in case of emergency? Pull it and find out.

    Lol... I can see it now... An LEO on the ground with a bloody nose. That would be so awesome to get on camera!

    You would not want to punch a Leo around here. We are pretty small townish or rather hill people or whatever. The lawman might be next to you at the grill in the afternoon after churching up is done.

    There is no point in breaking his nose.

    People who are not local or are strangers would try to do it, but for us? there is no need. It's almost like Andy would be talking Otis back out of the Jail in Mayberry to get his fixings taken care of....

    It's really nice. Back home they run wolfpacks now. Ugh.

    It might be what opens the hole in the floor installed by the more disgusting among us so they don’t have to stop to go to the bathroom.

    Is that really a thing or just a myth? I've never come across one working on a truck before.... thankfully because I would refuse to pull it in the shop.

    I haven’t personally encountered the likes of a driveline covered in dried urine and feces, but some on here know people that have.
