Hey Otra15, lock and lock has some containers with glass bottoms too. I NEVER reheat stuff in plastic, because of the chemicals that can release, but still IMHO plastic is more practical in the trailer.

I have had lids come off of too many plastic containers... including the loss of 12 oz. of expresso ground coffee (aka; dust) from a "press the button the lid to seal or release" clear container I got at Bed, Bath & Beyond. Even most newer Tupperware Is crap compared to L$L. They stay sealed, and a chopped onion will not stink up the fridge. HMM, Would it fool a police dog?

If you have to take "samples" to the doctor, put a big label on a little L&L and reserve it for the task. Your purse will thank you.

Renogy panels seem good but I was disappointed with their MC4 connectors fitting onto their cables. Factory MC4 fit well, the ones they supply have a different smaller blue grommet that doesn’t fit. Their “tech support “ suggests stripping off more insulation. Then you would be sealing the bare wire. NOT correct. Also be aware they are firm on their 30 day returns. It didn’t matter I spent over $1000 with them they won’t take back the unused adapters I didn’t need because I was past their 30 day window.

We got new bedspreads that were too wide to work well. A friend who knows how to sew cut them down and used the scraps to make “baby bumpers” for us. These will help to keep the aluminum walls from chilling us down on frosty nights. It’s below freezing now and they worked great last night. Click image for larger version

I haven’t had any problems with the mc4 connections on their solar suitcase, but it’s my first set of mc4 connections so perhaps ignorance is bliss.

I did get in the mail today a new dinsosaur board for my heater and a new sail switch from the dealer I purchased my airstream from. So I’m ready for my trip to Utah next week with spares for my heater. Looking forward to snowcanyon and other camping around St. George Utah.

You would only experience problems when you are installing their MC4 connectors on their cables. The grommets are to small for the cable.

Replaced the noisy "click-clack" spark generator on our Dometic stove with an electronic one, like on our Weber Q grill

Drilled out the original old sparky knob to cover much of the new one, and make the shiny chrome colored new knob bezel less of an eyesore. It also covers the two holes used to mount the original igniter


The step drill bit required to mount the new sparkler cost more than the sparkler did, but was worth it.
