does anyone have or recommend an anwing shade sidewall that's attachable the flap on the end of zip-dee that they could recommend? There is no slide rail to insert one, but I sure would love to find one that's ready make to mount to an airstream.

On our last trip I just used some clips to hold up a lightweight nylon tarp to block a rather cold wind. I was thinking about getting something more permanent. I just now found these at Camping World:

New door gasket, new screen door foam seal, new screen in the door. Door now closes with that distinct Airstream thump instead of a hollow clunk followed by a harsh rattle from the screen door flopping.Click image for larger version

I'm surprised your 2013 does not have this. Is your shower head a hand-held model?

Also, my outside shower handle has a cut-off on it.
Nope mine looks like a house shower head. It is a huge 6" diameter shower head with variable output but no lather switch. I was also annoyed that the shower head was so big and heavy it always falls down when towing. This one is smaller and lighter but still wrap it in a towel and lay it on the shower floor out of habit.

No need to be! It's an easy install and I think I spent less than $40. Best repair I've made on my AS yet! The main door seal is the most difficult, but only because you have to glue it in place with automotive trim adhesive. Nasty stuff. Wear gloves!

We are currently shopping daily to outfit our new baby. Today's purchases included a patio mat, storage boxes and an extra grill grate for the BBQ grill that is ordered and should be delivered tomorrow.

I got the 24 gallon lockable rubber maid storage box per the forum from Amazon.

Amazon.com - Rubbermaid 1172 ActionPacker Storage Box, 24 Gallon - Lidded Home Storage Bins

My 2,000 watt Honda generators came with a large diameter fuel cap with closable vent. It is larger in diameter than the handle is wide, so the storage lid bulges up and will NOT seal. The unit sits on one side of the box and there is a five or six inch space beside the generator for other stuff. So the unit is protected from rubbing other gear and is not readily visible. However the five gallon gas tank and dual feed flat tank do give the impression there is a generator in the back of the truck.

Hi Hibby. You asked about a attachable sunshade I think. Zip-Dee carries one ( read that as $$$) but it is good quality and they offer excellent service and delivery. I have one but have not yet installed it. It snaps onto the awning tube with attachable snaps that they provide. I asked for some additional snaps so that I can put some extras along the tube and move the shade a little if needed. There may be others. It will not roll up with the awning. I'm sure it would add to much bulk to the roll and it wouldn't seat itself to be secured. I hope this answers your inquiry. There may also be other options if you check around.

Aqua enamel pot, pans, stock pot & kettle...very light weight! Thought I'd give them a try before buying the stainless steel Magma nesting set...should work out okay for our first newbie adventures.

Do most folks line their overhead cupboards? Good tips for packing & minimizing contents shuffling around. Do most of you use storage shelves, padding between kitchen gear?

Today we got the Keurig and a few other minor things. The trial run for the Keurig revealed that the new travel mugs are too tall....ugh!

Those are pretty! I love the colors!! I did cover the bottoms of my cupboards and drawers with a nonskid shelf liner. It seems to be working when we towed it to/from the storage lot.
