Rose. CamperUSA is in West Bridgewater on RT 18. Top of the hill heading south before Bridgewater. They are a retail store plus an RV fixit shop. Very nice people. When I purchased my RV last year I had their mechanic go over all the RV stuff with me. Then everything was running and I knew how it ran, I hope. Heapie |

Getting the RT ready for our first trip this year to a Storytelling Festival in VA. Hope to leave next Wed. Been checking everything out, cleaning and loading all the supplies back in. Keeping fingers for some nice weather. Bob |

Took the Winnebago ERA to the Mercedes dealer to have a taillight bulb changed. That's right a bulb. You almost need an engineering degree to change the bulb. Only cost the price of the bulb ... $2.13. I watched the technician change it and just shook my head. The vehicles are over engineered with no thought to DIY maintenance work.

Pink stuff out of the lines, checking for leaks. Next check the roof with a bottle of Capt. Tolley's Creeping Crack Cure in hand, then a coat of marine wax. |

Finally got around to installing a screen on the side cargo door. The factory supplied screen by BugBarrier is a great screen and heavy duty mesh, but when it comes to unzipping and re-zipping to get in and out it is a pain. Besides which, the velcro hook pieces were separating from the glue strips leaving a sticky mess on the doorway. This mess was cleared up eventually, but not before trying heat, goop, mineral spirits and finally WD40 & Methyl Hydrate alternately on rags and lots of elbow grease. The new screen, Magic Mesh,bought at a local hardware store, has more info at www.magicmeshinfo.com. There are two panels. The LHS panel was installed full width, which put the opening in the centre of the door walkway (the rear of the two side doors remains closed and is used for the left hand edge of the LHS panel). The RHS panel needed to be cut off on the RHS. Both panels were too long and were shortened. Because the sticky tape comes through the mesh on the RHS panel, electrical tape was used to cover each one. The original Velcro strips were about 4 inches long, but were cut in two to provide a better fit for the mesh over the curves of the van body. The raw panel edges will be sealed with carpet tape or something similar.

We are now home from a great trip to Juno Beach and West Palm Beach here in Florida. Saw Jimmy Buffett and the coral reefers in West Palm. What a great time. We booked our PW into the RV area and had a blast. It is a little pricey...$151.00 overnight with H2O and power, (50 amp) bring your adapter, but so much better than doing the hotel/motel thing. Great neighbors and a great staff at the Cruzan amphitheatre. While on the east coast we also spent some time at Juno Beach. Outstanding place. Extrememly clean and the clearest water to play in. Even free parking at the beach parking lot. Highly recommend it. On the way home we ran into a lot of love bugs and took the time on arriving home to clean them off right away. Don't wait to remove them little critters....they can turn into concrete real fast in the hot sun if left alone. Now we are cleaned and getting ready for the next trip.

Karsty. I also took my 2013 Era to the MB dealer last week, 4-30-14 for the 20K fuel filter change. The tech said rear back up light was out and changed it under warranty...I saw the bill to MB... $1.70 for the bulb and $21.00 for the labor.
