During our trip to SE Asia, we stopped by the Mekong quilt shop in Hanoi, Vietnam today and ordered hand made quilts for our twin beds in the new trailer to be built in January. We also ordered large round pillow covers in complementary colors to lean against when reading in bed.

solar night light

A Gama-sonic outdoor solar light came with a small cabin that I built. Well, I discovered this outdoor light works well as a night light in the trailer. All you need to do is to leave it in the sun all day to charge the internal battery. It even has a motion sensor so that when you walk by it it gets brighter. It turns on at dusk and turns off at daylight. Great for the bathroom as a nightlight. Wolf146

Griots garage website just bent me over for 160 bucks for all my car/AS wash desires - got the bucket - gallon of wash - wheel cleaner - spray on wax (one bottle) - wheel dye and sealer - and one of those microfiber wash mops

Ive been paying 21 bucks per 4-6 weeks for both our daily drivers so it will "pay itself off" quick

Finally got round to installing a 30A outlet in the garage. So I guess I got the "good juice" for the AS.

well, I *think* I am done with covering the trailer essentials....I ordered extra lengths of fresh water line (a 50', 25', and a 10') as I will need to access water at home often in the coming weeks during kitchen renovation (the new trailer timing parked in backyard is fortuitous during this new renovation

bought some corrosion x spray, 4 plastic chocks, and a water pressure regulator.

I think I now have all essentials...except maybe extra lenghts of electrical power cords...my trailer will have 50amp...not sure yet what length or lengths of what type of cord I will need..? And I still need hoses for non-potable water use (black tank flush, sewer solution, etc...not quite sure how many and what lengths I need at this point....I have a 50ft extra garden hose I can use for now for starters and the dealer will give me a small starter hose as well....that will get me started I think...they also will give me basics for power as well....but will need longer extension I presume

I was told by my neighbor that their hoses had been busted by high pressure in the past - the trailer has a regulator built in to protect internals

I needed a bit less than 70 feet to reach trailer from my spigot during the renovation and for future use - the 50 will be for such home use only. 20 and 10 will be for travel I guess

Been needing to replace door knob on our 65 Overlander. It has the big backset and took a bit of searching to locate one we liked. So it is now in the mail.

Stopped by Foley Airstream yesterday to take a look a Pharmgeeks new Bunkhouse. I could not leave without buying something. Picked up an official authentic Airstream door mat. Very classy and practical.

I got for my airstream today set up new insurance policy with progressive which blew allstate (who does all my other insurance) out of the water....for nearly 100 dollars per year cheaper premium, I got better coverage which included "total loss replacement" for 1st 4 years of ownership and after that "actual cash value" in the even of total loss...allstate only offer actual cash value from the get go...this was excellent because for me it was built in "gap insurance" of sorts....feeling comforted right now

Grill - Volcano Grill on sale at Camping World

My sister has X-ray vision when it comes to finding sales racks and bargains. We were in the Camping World in Akron getting a new 30 amp cord for my Eddie and she says "Look, a volcano grill for $52".... I nearly plotzed... that's about $150 off!

I doubt if it's anywhere near that low in the catalog - and they only had one or two left over - so kiddies if you're near a CW, run do not walk and get that great XMas present for the Airstream.

And by the way, I got a great emergency breakaway cable. It fit's onto the breakaway box with a standard loop that you use for keys, it's RED and it's coiled with the ability to stretch six feet. My chains were initially a bit too long - I shortened them one more link - and the PO had done the BIG no-no - threaded the breakaway cable through one of the chains! It was badly frazzled from road rash, so I knew that I'd need a long cable due to the Hensley, so this was a perfect easy to install solution.
