Finally removed 13.5k BTU coleman mach 8 (sold on Craigslist for $500) and installed 9K BTU coleman Mach 8. Question is should I send the $500 to Apache camping center because they mailed me the 9k unit for free? ( when I bought the camper from them they put on the 13.5 unit when I ordered the 9k unit)

Unloaded and stored TC in barn for winter. Winterized and blocked up for more little changes I want to make after completing our major 4,000 mile circle of the southeast. Sad, but must work to save funds for more travels. The old thing performed perfectly for us and all fixes/changes great. Going to make a change to my TV bracket, fix latch on converter door and rework satellite cable entry port. That new Tailgater dish performed Ahhhmazingly in places we never thought it could work! Great investment and using spare receiver from home only costs us $5.00 a month. We pay for it no matter where we use it so it's all good.

Pulled the trigger on a new 200 watt solar system from AM Solar for our Northern Lite 10-2 CDSE. After much research, this seems like the best deal for a proven system (year end sale with free shipping and no sales tax from a highly regarded company). Looking forward to doing the install, my favorite kind of project. Thanks to all who have posted with their descriptions about how they did it. -Mark.

Put the 48" hitch extension on. Going to a DressageTraining Clinic with my wife and her young horse next weekend we will be staying overnight on the show grounds. The Clinician is a former US Olympic Rider and excellent trainer. First time towing the trailer with the Lance in the bed since I put the 19.5 wheels on the truck. Nice knowing I have quite a bit of reserve tire load capacity.

Looks like both...When I reinstalled our AC over removed vent picking up materials I expressed concern how close the old vent holes were to edge of gasket. Thats what was suggested I do, caulk the previous vent holes under the gasket. I gather fairly common when replaceing a vent, I ended up using eterna-bond tape to cover holes.
