why is it a 5 minute repair job at home is next to impossible to do on the road? I went to lift the self tensioning window shade next to the bed and the retaining cord snapped off its anchor. No problem just grab a phillips head screwdriver take it down retrieve the cord re-tie it to the anchor and screw in back in place...no leverage with a manual screwdriver..five seconds with a cordless drill at home. Lots of cussing retries and general frustration and 30 minutes later it is back up, just barely. I need to really drive the retention screws home with a cordless drill which I do not have with me. Right now at least the shade will stay up and the camper dark if I don't touch it, until I get home Sunday night. What a pain in the patoee

Completed the install of a SunRunner Duo controller and remote monitor on the home away from home. Next week, 240W of panels, cables, and combiner box. New batts with the next local sale. Can't wait for not worrying about the % battery remaining...

Changed mattress to a memory foam with cooling queen and changed out shower curtain to one that fits better. Coca cola bottle opener for the barley pop.

Sorry for the confusion, the home away from home is our AF990; I should have said 'remote battery monitor'.

Progress is finally being made towards getting the camper under cover so that it can start being repaired [emoticon].
