Zip Dee says that our awnings need a thorough cleaning every two or three years. Earlier this year Zip Dee made instructional videos in conjunction with Airstream on the operation, cleaning and lubrication of their awnings, which made my job easier.

Thanks for the reminder and the links to the videos on youtube. It is about time to accomplish these chores on our beloved "Changes in Latitudes". We also just returned from a week long camping trip to the beach so I will be washing the Airstream, again...third time this year (quite a record for me).

On the way home we passed an F150 pulling a 23 foot AS over the Sierras. They were crawling behind a very slow semi with their emergency flashers on (about 35-40 mph). We passed them doing about 65 with lots of power to spare. Diesel (at least at altitude) is the only way to go.
