Yes, it stays on. We’ve been through some pretty gusty winds in west Texas. It has a drawstring and a Velcro strap below that.

We have noticed that when the bathroom vent is on, and the door is closed, the vent struggles to get air, unless the window is open. It creates what amounts to negative pressure in the bathroom. You can open the bathroom door and hear the fan relax. By the same thinking, or reverse scenario, when the heat is on, it must create a positive pressure in the bathroom. As the air will take the path of least resistance, it will flow out the two vents in the main cabin (if those vents are open), and that is where the thermostat is too, the bathroom will stay noticeably cooler. This is especially true if the door is closed. So, what we did, is cut a 3 1/2" hole up high in the wall between the two rooms. We cut it up high so no shower water should show up there. Without the furnace running there was no airflow through the hole. When the furnace came on, the airflow through there would almost blow the candle flame out. We put an adjustable SS vent cover over the hole in both sides so the the airflow could be restricted from either side, if ever needed. It will let the airflow coming into the bathroom have a path back to the furnace return vent. The easy way of course is to leave the bathroom door open, but that is an inconvenience when we are sitting at the dinette. I have pictures but this new device is hiding its secret on how to release them. AF26ACAE-E520-4482-A0BF-FF56435C2233.MOV AF26ACAE-E520-4482-A0BF-FF56435C2233.MOV

We officially closed the deal on a new Elite II Monday. Our production start date is scheduled for March 20 and we are told it will be ready for the rally. We are signed up, have a site at the park and are looking forward to meeting other owners. See you there! Scott and Veronica Dyer

It probably was us at Collier Seminole. We had a couple of chats with the gentleman (Greenville area maybe?). It was a Florida area we had not been to. If you like fine shotguns, there is a place in Naples called Cole Gunsmithing. The show room is filled with almost museum quality hardware. The shop is run and owned by Maine folks. We just picked up a log book to start recording when, where, and conditions of where we stop. Sometimes we can remember we stayed at a nice place for a night or two, just don't remember name, date, or even where it was. Some of those COE places we need to spend more time at, and on purpose. And they honor the " National Parks "old geezers" pass. We have heard about those free beach camping sites in LA., and are amongst our travel maybes. Mud season is in full swing. Mosquitoes can't be far behind. Almost lobster time, Whoppie Pies, and Moxie...

I have no pics, I just clean out all the old grease from around the gears and replace with a quality grease.

I have not taken the jack assembly completely apart, but I do removed the top cover to the gear box and relube the gears. And each year I extend the jacks and clean then out first with brake cleaner and spray them with a Teflon lubricant; be sure to clean up any excess lube from the exposed jack tube. So far I have not had any issues and the jacks work very smoothly.

New “Ollie” owners, we adopted hull #428 on Valentine’s Day at the plant and excited to be attending the rally. We’re nearing retirement with great plans but this is our first RV so much to learn! Can’t wait to meet the “Family”,

I was kind of hoping that Chuck would have a chance to try it out and get back to us here. Bill

On your tow vehicle - normally to the right and left of the actual hitch receiver - there will be a hole or slot that is large enough for a chain or hook/clip to fit through. The ends of the safety chains/cables normally have a hook on the end that is then "hooked" to this hole/slot. Perhaps if you viewed this YouTube video you'd understand better: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ARZhXW5g_7c Bill
