Mike and Carol

This what we’re using. It is an Abus padlock. It’s not going to prevent a determined thief but does provide some deterrence. I believe most thefts occur while in storage not camping. Mike

We used this same lock on ours. It won’t stop a determined thief but provides deterrence. I believe most thefts aren’t when camping but when in storage. Mike

The spammer is now banned. The posts have been removed. Not sure how they are getting in. Mike

This is nonsense. There are five active moderators, all owners just like you. There is no censorship going on except in extreme cases (remember bugbite?). None of us are zealous. If there is a questionable post or photo we consult with each other. I have had photos disappear from my own posts - my Television move thread had a number of photos disappear. Let’s not point fingers with no facts. Mike

Steve, glad this is coming to a happy ending and look forward to seeing you and Tali at the rally. Mike

I was already making a shopping list.

David, wow, those are some stunning Utah pictures! Makes me want to go back.... Mike

I can’t answer with a specific number since our trailer is over in the storage. But, the way I do it is to keep the sewer hose connected all the time while we’re on the road. With the recess it allows storing the hose in the bumper without disconnecting. If you brought the pipe out further you’d have to disconnect in order to close the bumper. It makes it easy when we have a FHU site to just drop the bumper and connect to the campsite sewer. Mike

Wow! I’m sure that there is some snow fatigue this late in the year. Hope you get a nice thaw soon! Mike

Welcome to the group! Looks like you are just a short drive to our rally location. If you can, come on down and meet some owners! Mike

Thanks, John. Makes me want to get up to the north west even more! Mike

I like what you did with the sink and faucet. Looking forward to more projects and pictures! Mike

Some dealers have them already. The Airstream dealer in Buda, TX has a couple. Mike

I like all the windows. Don’t like rear door, most campgrounds not set up for rear doors. Manual front jack for that much money? Time will tell if the quality is there. Airstream has some QC issues. I’ll stick with Oliver. Mike

Ours also works pretty well with AT&T. It works best when you are close to the inside antenna. Have you checked to see if you have any red lights on the booster? Mike

Yes. Just enough to prevent any lateral movement.

Interesting... our towel bar isn’t crap and really works well as a towel bar. It hasn’t fallen off and is still tightly mounted. We also have a command hook above it for the microfiber towel we use to wipe down the shower after we squeegee. Mike

Fort Sill! My dad was artillery and I spent much of my youth at Sill and in Lawton. I was staioned there in the early 80’s when i was a young signal officer. My brother was FA and was staioned at Ft. Sill a lot. Small world. Mike

John, that is what I do when I want to get some bleach in the fresh tank. Connect the hose, pour some bleach into the hose, then connect to faucet and fill the the tank. Mike

Nicely done!

Bingo! I pulled the insulation back and sure enough there is foil on the top side. After I put the antenna on top of the insulation my reception went way up and had no drops in an hour of listening. So, I just used a piece of duct tape to tape the antenna to the fiberglass bottom of the roof behind the Oliver sign and then repositioned the insulation. Mike

I did something similar. The space between the twin beds is 18” X 51”. I cut three 19”X 17” rectangles from 3/4” ply wood to sit on the fiberglass frame. I cut a 1/8” X 1/2” lip so there is no movement, there’s 1/2” overhang on each side. A piece of high density 6” foam is level with the 8” mattresses. The three pieces of wood are small enough to store easily when not in use. We can also use one of the rectangles as a table between the beds when we’re in the twin bed mode and watching TV or reading. Mike

We leave our fridge on all the time. Our travel/home time is about 50/50 so we just leave it running since we have 20a at our storage. Mike

What the CEO did is disturbing. He appears to be trying hard to make up for it. I’ve been happy with my hitch. When it started to groan they sent me a new sleeve. I couldn’t remove the ball to put the new sleeve in so they sent me a whole new assembly. No charge. As far as I’m concerned they are responsive and stand behind what they sell. Mike

The tube was not empty, not sure how much is left. The zerks in the middle are hard to see so I pumped until I could feel grease coming out, probably overdid it but too much is better than too little Mike
