Went to the RV show today and they changed a lot of the floor plans. The tv cabinet has changed drastically. It is now lowered to the middle section, but a lot of the storage has been eliminated. The bedroom closets have less hanging room, cedar lining, the dresser at the end of the bed is taller, n...

Bridgestone Dueler Revo. 17 inch, best tires I have ever had on a truck. The last set went 40k and the dealer gave me $20 apiece when I put on a new set because there was another 5k at least of tread. But I was going on a 4k trip over the mountains in winter so I sprung for new ones. They grip the r...

I also strengthened my pantry shelves, some with plywood inserts and the two that I just didn't want to tear apart I drilled holes in the bottom piece and sprayed insulating foam into the holes. That bridged the 2 layers well and they seem to be much stronger. The closet shelves I had to put additio...

Interesting, CW asked me if I needed the long one or the short one. I showed them the old one and said "you tell me". I got the identical long one from them.

They stay pretty toasty once warmed up throughout. and the furnace works full time, and remember that propane at high altitudes vaporizes differently so it really runs more than it would at sea level at -10. We never got to -10, only to -5 but didn't know it until we stuck our nose outside. Nice 72 ...

the pump hums if it has no water supply, not the usual hard pumping sound. The lights are the lights in the hold on the toggle switch. Any heat at all is good.
