I rotated my Best B today --so the hot Arizona sun fries the other side of the pleasureway's fiberglass evenly. 90 degrees today. Maybe high 70's by the end of the week - oh my gosh does the heater still work???

Speaking of frying your PW. We have a PW Excel and when not in use it is parked in our driveway. During the hot summer, the inside gets so hot that the interior window wall of the bathroom has separated from the nice white caulking at the seams. I guess that the interior wall warps so much from the hot temps that it just separated from the caulking. I could recaulk it, but I think it would just repeat the problem next summer. Now since that wall is not sealed it probably would not be a good idea to shower in there because moisture would seep behind the separation behind the wall and perhaps get moldy. Anybody have any ideas or should I just leave it alone. We usually just shower in the campground facilities because the "shower" is too small anyway. What would you people do? Is there a stronger caulking material that would be a stronger bond to the wall? Thanks for your input, Don

Took a 50 mile trip to see the local Farm/Art DTour. They use things used on farms and make art out them. The route took us thru rolling hills and beautiful fall colors. Stopped at a cheese factory and watch how they make cheese. It was so nice to have the B.

reorganized my stuff in it and dumped the tanks and moved it to the backyard-getting ready for winter-maybe one more trip? ( as I dumped the water my neighbor was re- filling his to go camping this weekend ) Ill wait to put the cover on.

scarpi. Just want to respond to you regarding the bathroom caulking separation. We are in S Cal and although not as hot, the caulking on the corner right above the faucets came off from the wall side. I had a handyman put caulking back (he said he used those type that sticks to prevent it from coming off again). It looked great for a few months and then the caulking came off again. This time, it pulled the wall paper off. I am just going to leave it alone now. It is only a small section and does not get wet at all. We do use the bathroom to shower but I devised some shower curtains to basically wrap around both sides and back. So no water gets to the wall at all. The great thing is that I only need to dry the floor after showers and just leave the curtain to air dry [emoticon]

Hope this helps.

Well, where to start, engine oil change, trans filter and oil, shocks, repair loose headliner, (all this in the last week) and next week; install new inverter, install new fridge and try to fix rear air, that'll keep me off the streets for awhile [emoticon]

getting ready so a trip thru the so. west next month.

Removed the seat back on my jack-knife sofa bed. Been thinking about this for a while and I love how it turned out. Now my bed doesn't take up the entire aisle anymore [emoticon]

and I can just use pillows or my sleeping bag when I need a back rest. Much roomier!
