Thanks! We got our camper today after 6 months in storage! This is just insane to not use it for all those months. Maybe next year we'll extend our camping season a little. Camper was washed, waxed, battery connected and charged, propane filled, basic dewinterized, and waiting for us when we got there. We're taking a week to move back in and get a feel for how things are working again. I've forgotten so much. Unfortunately it's still very windy and cold. We've a great campsite view and a heater that works.

First, we picked up our TT yesterday and drove to the local campground basically behind our home. We did a walk through after winter storage and were thrilled that all seemed perfect! I needed an extension for propane line to grill which they placed in TT over the winter months. Some of you may recall that they substituted grills and the line was to short. That was solved.
Now for my wow moment. I had asked for the dealer to order another curtain for the room divider area. Those curtains are basically worthless, so thin you can pretty much see through (I know a weight control issue) and the location doesn't give you any room to turn around by your bed! Privacy to the sleeping area if you need but certainly no dressing area. I thought perhaps a second curtain would make it fuller OR maybe use a tension rod further in the "hall" area to give you a section to change by the "dream locker". My surprise was that they installed a complete curtain system for me which I hadn't asked. First that sort of bothered me to say the least but after using it last night I can see how nice it will be to have it located where they put it. The ceiling rail starts from between the outside door and the corner cabinet across to the bathroom wall. Perfect fit to the corner of the TV Cabinet and bathroom wall.
The curtain stays by the outside door end and isn't really visible from the rest of the seating area. It didn't come with a tie back but I'll use the one from the bedroom curtain. It really gives a much more private changing area. This way you have better access to the bedroom cloth storage area, the dream locker to sit on to put on shoes and so on without being in the cramped bathroom for changing.
Unfortunately temps were 40, high winds and rain. The joys of spring camping but our yearly move in has been great so far! Our huge back window backs right on the water for an incredible view, pictures to follow!
Happy trails ~~~~~

.We did a short 3 night trip this Easter Weekend and we lucked out on the weather and finally got some beautiful warm sunshine. Last night with the clear skies we were able to star gaze using the Google Sky Map app on my Android phone. You just point the camera to the sky and it shows you what stars, planets, and constellations you're looking at. Absolutely amazing!
While we were out this weekend, I added a few more tweaks to make things more comfortable. First was to add some lights inside the pantry next to the fridge. That cabinet is really deep and even though we use a container on the top shelf to slide things in and out, it was hard to see what was all the way in the back on the lower shelves--especially at night. I already had some Silvania Dot-It Liner Swivel LED lights left over from our old TT:

I just applied new Velcro fasteners and stuck them under each of the 3 shelves in the pantry. They run on 3xAAA batteries and all you have to do is touch the contact to turn them on and off. It makes it easy to see what buried back there:

The second thing I did was mount a Black and Decker cordless vacuum to the side of the entertainment unit. I've had that one for awhile now, but was too lazy to put it in a permanent location before now. It's not as nice the built-in system, but it does it's job:

The weather also was finally warm enough for me to stick a couple more 3M hooks in the outside kitchen for BBQ lighters (yes, I like keep more than one style close at hand!)

Ok, so I tried some pretty cheap weather stripping around the back tv in the outdoor kitchen (to keep out the bugs) and that didnt work out so good. Maybe I shouldnt have used the cheap stuff, maybe I put it in the wrong areas. has anyone come up with a good fix for the gap around the tv on the 31BHPR? If so, please take a few pics and post them. We are going out again this weekend and I am going to try a better weather strip.

I know bugs have been known to fly back through there, so I try to keep the light off at night when I have the kitchen open. When I looked at the space this weekend, I was inspired with an idea:
![[image]](https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/_wt2nFqaLw-c/S7WUBcuzohI/AAAAAAAACac/C5ncMlp0k2c/s800/3%206%202010%20012.jpg)
What if, instead of trying to fill the gap around the TV, you just made a frame to cover the entire opening like this?

You could use either magnets or velcro around the frame to hold it in place on the trim. That would allow you to remove it when you wanted to turn the TV around. I figure you could either use window screen mesh or even clear plastic, if you wanted to watch TV outside. Doing it that way would eliminate all gaps and yet still allow you full function of the swivel TV.
Has anyone tried using any of the stick on coat/towel hangers on the wallpaper? I'd like to put a towel holder up in the bathroom and was thinking of using the stick on stuff instead of screws. I have a coat hanger at work that holds my leather jacket so same one should hold towel OK...
thanks in advance.
Plexi-glass of course!!! That is an awesome idea. Not only will it keep out the bugs, but also protect the tv from any kind of splashes from the sink, which is another issue I was concerned with after our last trip out. Thank you for the idea!!!
