New clock in the bedroom area and a CO protector. And a useful paper towel dispenser that does not allow unravelling while underway. Attachment 352188 Attachment 352189Attachment 352190Attachment 352191

Jim, could I get some info on the paper towel dispenser? Is it spring loaded to secure during transit?

[Jim Flower]

Hello Zy,
Yes it is spring loaded and it has a nice aluminum mount. I stumbled across it at Walmart, hiding at the back of a shelf. No unraveling as you roll down the road. Jim

Hmm, that didn’t seem to work. Let’s try again.

I have looked at Walmart, do you have a name for the paper towel holder?

AKNate, that is one gorgeous table top! How did you finish or seal it?

I just used butcher block conditioner. It’s a blend of mineral oil and wax.

I let the tabletop sit in the sun and warmed the conditioner bottle in hot water for the first application so it would soak in well. I wanted a finish that wouldn’t affect the feel of the wood - I didn’t want a sealed under plastic sort of finish. A regular finish would also probably end up chipped with our 4 yo if our table at home is any indication.

Today I received a new 4K BlackVue 2ch dash cam with magic power supply and a new SureCall Fusion2go RV cell booster. I will post individual threads for each and do install review and blog post on them.

Starting with a mere 120w folding notebook solar panel, want to rinse the most PV power to the 2-6v 220ah batteries.

Love the solid build quality, exact battery settings/parameter programability, very accurate bluetooth realtime data / historical amps, volts, watts. Gives an MPPT 30% better efficiency for our initial setup.

Tells us exactly what is going on and where.

Best $117.00 ever spent

I finally got around to search in Google and typed, "How to fix the freezer door in Dometic Refrigerator". The first YouTube post popped up and i watched... Lo and Behold, the answer for me! I rushed to my Bambi after work and got the freezer door fixed which took me 2 minutes! The freezer door was broken off by previous owner but he did not get it fixed when he sold the Bambi to me. I bought a few parts and installed them but could not get the freezer door closed until now! whew that's done with.

Congrats...the simple requirements of caravaning, like keeping the cocktail ice frozen

Happy trails

Where did you get your rolling ladder?

Last week we were in northern Illinois and the humidity was terrible. We read about the EVA-DRY EDV 1100. Turned it on and it immediately started pulling the humidity down.

bought front window replacement yesterday at Airstream of Santa Barbara. The customer service is great! I almost left the Airstream Part Store without the window. The window with frame cost $677.00 but the glass itself would be $275.00. They did not have the glass window but has the whole frame with window.. The manager decided that he would take out the glass from the frame and let me have it, he ll order the window and put it back on the frame. wow what a good quick thinking! paid for the glass and will install it today. Also bought some interior rivets just in case.

Lock & Lock containers. As seen on QVC.

Got a big set when I only wanted the two largest pieces - with the carry handle. I had never used these containers before but the big pieces were perfect for a hobby class.
So. The big pieces were fine, but one irritating thing about being a solo streamer is cooking for one. And I needed 1/4 of an onion, so I grabbed the littlest box on a why not? These things are wonderful! They SEAL IN the smell and the moisture completely! And after washing, the smell did not become part of the box. Drop them on the floor upside down...still sealed. When I buy groceries I routinely use the vacuum sealer to freeze portioned out meat and other bulky food, but it isn't practical to pull it out for something small that will be used in a day or two. My brown sugar immediately went into a medium sized L&L. Ant proof (curse the little buggers forever) and easy access whenever I want a bit on my oatmeal. Fit nicely in the slender 25 FB pantry too.

Please provide a photo of your lock and lock container. Thank you

We have some, they work great . . .

. . . however you usually need to use two hands to open and close each one.

These Pyrex glass containers can sometimes be opened and closed with one hand:

Some folks prefer glass.

Finally replaced the front window yesterday. Bought the window at Airstreams of Santa Barbara in Bruelton. The parts dept manager was very nice. They did not have the window but had the window with frame. He had the window taken out and sold it to me.
