We have a white wrapped one somewhere near us. Doesn't look so bad as the stainless ones I see most days. It's an odd design , for sure. It definitely says "I'm not your everyday pickup truck." I also see Rivians, and Lightnings, every week, sometimes several times a week. Last week, in Asheville, we rented an f150 hybrid. Great truck. Great seats.

We thought about this year's ago, when we blew out our outdoor shower by not winterizing early enough in nc. Never got around to it. If you do this, please share details and photos. Many of us rarely use the outdoor shower. The shutoff would be helpful, I think.

Some cheaper rv antifreeze is , from what I've been told, reclaimed/recycled de-icing glycol. That said, we've not had alarms go off worh the "cheap" stuff from Walmart, etc. Those of you have had the issue, did you also blow out the piping before adding rv antifreeze?

I suspect you were, but we're you downshifting, going down the mountain?

I'll definitely check out their restaurant next time I'm in the Ozarks. Menu looks great@

One of my friends has a big emeril oven. I used it, in his kitchen, when we evacuated for Milton. Nice oven! Before the power went out, I made meals for a few days that could be reheated in the microwave, in a few minutes, via generator. Worked out great.

Charly looks very content. A good traveler.

Our 15 year old little heater has served us well. I'd recommend carrying one, with tip over and overheat protection, even in Florida winter, if you will have hookups. Very quiet, even heat.

You may eventually want to add a vent or two. Our 2008 had a vent to the sink side. Even though we no longer have a microwave, I still like the vent. When parked, I prop the cabinet door open a bit. Nice install. Wishing you the best.toshiba makes some great products.

My jack is 16 years old. Works fine.

I'd do a wrap, if i did anything. Maintaining paint, as a secondary solution, just doesn't appeal to me. We've done several coats of paint on our 40+ years old fiberglass dinghy, over the decades. It's a pita.

Lumber or a curb ramp can save some bumps. We have a big "dip" at the end of our drive. Without lumber , the hitch can scrape. Also, approaching at a big angle helps, vs straight on.

Is it possible to start and stop the mini? To save on fees when not in use?

Welcome! I have friends and relatives in the Black Hills. Enjoy your new Ollie. Taking it south for the winter?

Can't wait to see the wonder bread wrap.

Any good boatyard can paint fiberglass. Many types of paint for fiberglass still require waxing and care. Others don't. Awlgrip paint warns against wax, and most boat owners report 5 to 10 years of a beautiful finish, some even many more, with proper care. (Keep it clean, use non abrasive cleaners as recommended, etc.) If you decide to paint, have a long conversation about pros and cons of various available coatings. Paint is often much harder to repair than gelcoat. A wrap is honestly probably less expensive, and easier maintenance. Proper paint job on a fiberglass hull is many hours of arduous work. And, attention to detail. Many beautiful boats are painted hulls, but, they don't face rock chips. They do deal with abrasion from dock lines and docks, but not highway and gravel Serious consideration here. I wouldn't paint mine, honestly.

Debris is,still everywhere, even though many of rhe huge piles are cleared. The small sharp stuff may be still in the roads and streets. Lots of flats in our neighborhood, from leftover unseen sharp metals, screws etc As you come further south, be careful. Gas supply is much more normalized. Most stores are open. Most folks have grid power. Many neighborhoods are still sad looking but others are recovering to certain extent. Mine is far less depressing than last week. Welcome back.

Living where you do, @jd1923, you probably don't need either the oem seal nor what appears to be trimlock molding. In rainy east, we like ours.

30 pound tanks are great , if you can lift them. We run with 20s. That's enough pain, and enough weight. They last a long time. That's a personal decision. But, if you can, try lifting a full one up and over the lip of the propane storage area, and see what you think. Some places will fill tanks in place. Others won't. We don't swap tanks at rhino or others, until tanks go out of date, or, we are desperate. Swap tank site is a good place to get rid of out of date tanks. Then, we pick and choose for a good date on replacement. (True for trailer, BBQ, boat, etc) Twenty is plenty, for us, and, we normally boondock. Cold weather enthusiasts will probably want 30 pounders.

Sounds like an excellent plan. No better choice than you, for that role.

Things get better every day. More of my neighborhood gets debris cleared off driveway and lawns. It's a little less depressing to look down the street, where furniture, cabinets, drywall, and memories of a lifetime were piled, yesterday. But, that doesn't mean hazards aren't there. Drive carefully. Crap everywhere on the streets. Fasteners, glass, and metal bits... And, as I said before, make sure spares are good. Tire plugs, fixaflat, and portable compressor may just be your new best friends. Most of my friends now have power. Not everyone. Worse with our friends up by Asheville. These storms showed no favoritism. My heart goes out to all affected. Samaritans purse has helped many here, and in Asheville area, if anyone is looking for a worthy place to contribute.

If you have an E2, as i think you do, I can't help. We have an Elite I.

The fridge light doesn't come on if the door is only slightly open. With ours,,and towel folded keeps it open , a jug of rv antifreeze keeps it from swinging wider. Or, any appropriate doorstop. Do you park at home?

Also, make sure your spare tires are good. There is so much debris on the roads. Daughter had a flat last week. Screw in tire.

So, has anyone used the recpro product? We've always used ez rv gutter, so I can't comment on recpro product.
