Yes, that's kind of important. My guess wasn't correct!

Maybe good to have a spare set in the tool kit, since these are both essential for safe travels and also hard to source at a local hardware store.

I have extra Equalizer bar brackets and cotter pins in the tool kit-just in case.

To help keep the new Zamp 120w suitcase at home.

Long enough to follow Sol around. 🤩

I also have a Zamp 120 suitcase, how do you envision attaching the Cable to the panels? I like the cable. Thanks!

Arriving today...😳

Well I figure it's long enough to go thru the handle, around the the support legs a few times and being 30', long still have enough to be able to follow the light.
I charge thru the 7pin plug so the panel will stay towards the front of the AS. 👍

It will still get put away whenever we are not around. 😏

I certainly agree with you. Up to this point I did not think it was necessary as I always religiously replaced the pin whether or not I am hooking up or disconnecting as soon as I put the chains back in place. why I did not do it this time is a mystery to me but now I have an extra one incase it happens again.

Ken thank you for reminding me of that. I got the package late last night and am looking forward to reading the article and looking at all the photographs. Remind us who your original owners of #50 were.

Sent you a pm.

"New" single-cup coffee maker

Found another fantastic deal on a travel coffee maker!

I have had a Melitta TravelMate since the early 90’s when I ordered one from Gevalia Coffee. I have always liked it. It got slightly damaged during a business trip, but still functions nicely.
I was on eBay and found a complete, used/new condition one for $12 + shipping. Ended up being $20.85 total. The seller said that his parents had bought it 20 years ago but never used it! When I received it, you could tell that was accurate!
Anyway, if you would like a very nice, single-cup coffee maker, keep your eyes open for one of these. (Melitta doesn’t make them any longer.) The cup, cone, and cone top pack away inside the coffee maker’s reservoir, then it and the other items go in the canvas case.

New Goodyear Endurance tires and changed out a faulty unreliable power jack switch. First trip on the new tires tomorrow unless the wildfires keep us away.
