IMHO, a simple folding drying rack held on by bungy chords to a picnic table

waninae, you may be on to something. Having a means of cleaning the AS while camping sounds like its worth a trip to the patent office

Got two used #5 Lodge skillets at garage sale for $5.00.

They're in pretty good shape and will clean up well. Good size for 2 person camping.

Twice now after breaking camp and a last test of the trailer brake (manual squeeze test) had NO brakes being applied and a screen warning of trailer “cable disconnected“.

Brand new truck and clean looking connector so suspected micro oxidation over 1or more connectors over the years.

Wet dry fine sandpaper (non shedding type) folded over for 1/4” file-like control refreshed all connections and center pin. All nice and brassy again.

Compressed air blast and Final zap of Corrosion X hopefully solves issue.

We bought two of the eTrailer "grates" that will "fit with help" on the top of the Dometic CU-434 stove (in our Classic and 23D). This requires a grinder and a cutoff blade for it to get things to fit. These were designed for a Furrion stove so the openings for the burners need to have the support fingers trimmed in some areas to keep them out of direct flame. Also had to severely bezel the bottom edges. Only need to grind one side for the screw heads as they can be inserted at an angle to get under the opposing side there screws.

I had the same problem with my Sport 22 occasionally. Tried a bunch of stuff that helped variably, but purchased the Airstream Life electrical connection maintenance kit, and it worked the best of anything. Similar solution to yours. https://store.airstreamlife.com/coll...aintenance-kit

Sounds great! Got my EasyStart in the mail Tue. Have to put it in next week. Got cleanup this weekend from hurricane Zeta.

What's your flavor in bourbon?

You’ve been busy Jon. A lot of good upgrades. I have a friend that travels with dogs and may be interested in that thermostat upgrade.

I’ll have to give Blanton’s a try sometime. My son likes it. I like Buffalo Trace but can only find it when we are in Texas or Florida.

Personally not an Angles Envy fan, [emoji106] to the Jeffersons and that Balvinie Doublewood.

Installing the new MicroAir thermostat allows both air conditioners to run in our 2014 Classic at the same time. Never could get the stock Dometic thermostat to cooperate even replacing motherboards in A/C units did not help. Also installed Easy Starts on both units.

I finally finished some projects in the works for a while.

Installed the chrome window lifters in the living area.



Installed tow mirrors on the Tundra. Did a lot of research, settled on the "Trail Ridge" because of good reviews and they were mid priced. Bought from 1A Auto, who have the best price. Installation was a snap IF you first watch the YouTube video with all the steps to remove the door panels. Although the EOM mirrors did not have marker lights, the wiring harness has many more functions prewired than just power and heat. I guess it's cheaper to have one harness for many models. The end result is the turn and light LED's on the side now function.

After a year of tinkering, I created a 24" round table for the 26U.
I found the top on Esty, then made it more rigid by adding an 18" disc at 90 degrees to the grain, glued and screwed. I added the hardware from Cascade Depot that sells the Airstream parts. I mounted the table flange 2" off center so by rotating the table I can make it closer or farther away. The wood is "Ambrosia Maple", which I thought would look okay with the Airstream cabinets.
Here's the table in the forward floor flange.

And here it is in the rear flange.

Here's the bottom, I swear the dark disc is centered, but the parallax makes it look off center. The table flange really IS off center so I can adjust the table in or out.

picked up my 2019 FC 19' "Silver" today from Santa Barbara Airstream today. Some warranty work on missing screws, handles fell off, loose BiFold door, loose bumper and solar panel/charger install. I am camping at Waypoint Ventura today. one thing left to do is replacing broken rear stabilizer. I made a deal with the service guy that he is to call me when the replacement stabilizer arrive and work on schedule that I could wheeze in and replace the stab for 15 mins and zoom out.
