A CAMCO Olympian 5500 gas grill, and plumbing supplies to add a quick disconnect to hook it up to the trailer propane system. All installed and checked out!

Where did you get it?!

I would really love to have some, my father worked for Eastern for 30 years and we flew a lot on passes, but I had no idea you could get the silverware!

I like the idea of the gas checker. Has anyone else tried it.

That's cool! The illustration is really weird though. Either the hand and the device are REALLY BIG or the propane tank is REALLY small. AND if the propane tank is really small, then the lifting handles on top of it won't be of much use.

Several folks have asked about the refrigerator thermometer. I got it at Amazon - Amazon.com: ACU_RITE Refrigerator/Freezer Wireless Digital Thermometer 00986: Kitchen & Dining - around $26.

You don't have to spend that much on one a simple dial type is sufficient and mine has lasted for years and no battery. The same goes for the oven thermometer.

A while back I posted pictures of stained glass inserts I made over the winter. I finally installed them today. We think they'll be nicer then the original pull shades as they'll let light in while helping to control cold, heat and privacy.

The nice thing about the remote-reading digital thermometer is that you can monitor the temps without opening the fridge... that can make the difference between marginally acceptable cooling and insufficient cooling in the Texas summer.

New Purchases

Hi folks! We're new here. Just joined. Acquired our 2010, FC20 just three weeks ago. At this point, we have replaced the interior halogen bulbs with LEDs, replaced the painful toilet with a new Dometic Low Profile, ordered new Sendal Eddie Baur rims with Michelin tires (UPS "forgot" to deliver one of our tires, however) and a boondocker power converter from Best Converters. Basically, at this point, we are hemorrhaging money from every pore, but we are looking forward to our shakedown trip---once we get the tags.

Oh it never ends... There's a reason for this thread - your FC20 becomes your spoiled child.... Only, it doesn't talk back!
Enjoy the journey.....

I saw some flamingo lights in the rv section of Walmart the other day. I'm sure their website will have them.
