We chose the Villa Recliners because they are the same ones used by Airstream in their newer 30' model with recliner option. The are scaled nicely to the space under the pano windows, sit high enough to view out the windows perfectly, can swivel within that space, have leather seating surfaces, have four color choices to coordinate with late model Airstreams, have a lever to raise/lower the leg rest so there is no ottoman on the floor, have sturdy steel frame construction, and are very comfortable. We have been on the road six months using them every day. You can Google Villa Recliners to find a few sources for about $750 each.

They are not fastened to the floor. They have a series of nylon glides around the bottom that hold them in place when towing, but slide easily to pull them out to a full reclining position.

We did try our Ekornes recliners from home at first but they look tiny in that space, and sit too low for the windows, and they need ottomans.

dkottum, thank you for the information about Villa recliners. I had checked them out a few years ago for their sofas/beds, but I didn't think about them for their recliners. I haven't seen their work in person, but on the internet it looks nice.
I'll have to do some surfing to see where the best deal is.

Thanks again.

A shiny new set of metal valve stems and spin balancing for each wheel on our trailer to handle the flow-thru TPMS sensors with aplomb...we even did the spare. Works beautifully; life is good.

We chose the chairs because they are very comfortable. They are not necessiarily light weight. They are very well built. The size of the Lambright chairs is perfect for RV's.


I drilled four 5/16" holes in the steel base of the chairs, and used 1/4" x 2" lag bolts directly into th floor. Works fine.

Installed a new tonneau cover and Yakima racks on my TV. Had to search a bit to find what I was looking for--aluminum slatted roller tonneau cover, lockable, and compatible with some type of sport rack. The folks at TonneauCovers World were a great help. Truck Covers USA sells the roll cover with Yakima tracks pre-installed on the bed rails. Installation was straight forward and took me about 2 hours. Here's how it came out.

That's beautiful. I would love to have something like that for the double sink in our safari.

It is finished in walnut oil to seal it and has an inner lip to fit snugly into the sink. Maybe I can go into production???

Really, really nice job! I love it!

[Jwestman]

Well, you guys wanted proof so here it is. We took the 25fb out of storage today and hooked it up to the new tow vehicle. A short trip to have the trailer prepped for the season. Very nice ride! I'll know more after we take a long trip in a few weeks.

[subfan1]

Love it! Great looking combo

A fresh supply of Vulkem, Parbond, Tolley's, and Eternabond. Uggg.............

Ordered a new toilet and flange seal. Both of the valves are leaking in ours (the inlet valve and the drain valve), and it's 19 years old, so even though it's probably cheaper to fix the one we have we decided to update/upgrade.

I am in the middle of doing the same on my 93 34'. I decided to just clean up the old valves and install new seals, which already is a big job. Replacing the valves would have required replacing most of the pipes, since the old valves are cemented in place.

Just ordered weber baby q1000

A couple of weeks ago we purchased an ARE cap for our 2011 GMC 2500 4x4 tv, it looks like it came with it. I'll try to take a pic the next time I have it out and post it here.

We're thinking about getting a Honda generator eu2000i (I think those numbers are correct), and we know eventually we want to have two so one needs to be the companion. We just need to research which one we should buy first; which one can run by itself.

[Arcticfox]

Hi Deb
It will be interesting what you come up with here as we need to purchase a generator also and have been looking at the Honda. But the price of them (at least in Canada) is just nuts!
Looking forward to following along on what you decide....
Cheers
Doug

Ask your dealer to be sure, but I think either can run solo. If that's true, the companion is probably the most convenient to get first so you don't have to use the adapter, even though you can only draw what it is capable of producing when running solo.
