I just purchased this blanket for the trailer from Costco:
http://www.costco.com/ProductDisplay...mber=100096705

It's a very high quality blanket, very warm and well made. And the price is good!

Well, this is not good. I mentioned the other day that I ordered Byam hooks ( similar ) from sailboatstuff.com and just got an e-mail that they no longer carry that item ( true name from them was razor strop hook ). Bummer! Now I will go back and continue my search. This is what I did not do to my trailer today.

Here's what we got after seeing them installed in Riveted's AS:

BJÄRNUM Folding hook - IKEA

When closed they look like accents. I have 5 in the bedroom, 5 in the hall near the shower and 2 up front near the door. All up high.

The Fortress Gaslock is a lock for the propane cylinders as well as the aluminum propane tank cover. I worked with the manufacturer to develop one made specifically for our Airstream trailers because the aluminum cross member at the top that holds the propane cylinders has slightly different dimensions and is shaped differently than the steel cross member that holds the propane bottles down on other brands of trailers.
All I have done in the way of use is to install it, and then remove and replace it to get the propane bottles filled.
It does provide a little peace of mind to know that if someone wanted to steal the propane cover or bottles they will be discouraged, slowed down, or stopped. Propane isn't inexpensive, and we need it at times to keep warm on a cold night.

6 gallons of propane in a new aluminum tank with gauge (30 gallon tank all they would fill it) and a new General Insurance policy.

We've been waiting months for the new portable Big Green Egg Minimax Kamado grill. They are finally shipping them and we picked one up in Tempe, AZ on our way from Tucson to New Mexico for Thanksgiving at her mom's house.

The ceramic kamados are heavy, this one near 80# stretches the definition of portability and violates our "travel light" rule but we're anxious to fire it up. We can accommodate it. It fits under the bed cover of our truck and has sturdy handles to strap it down. I think a little foam between the ceramic parts will be a good measure for travel.

One day I would like one of those smokers - will be interested in your full review in a couple years when I may be in the market! Good luck

Actually the BGE Minimax weighs 63#, not 80#. My mistake. It's all new to me, grill, smoker and oven capable of 700 degrees F. Will be interesting. Any others using a Kamado grill?

The dimensions were perfect for the towel rack over the cabinet door.
Purchased at Lowe's. I took a close up pic so you can see the product label if anyone is needing one.
