Are they glued in place or just a very tight fit that holds then in place? Thanks

The preferred way to connect the main cables is to have the main positive cable on one, and the main negative cable on the other. The Airstream factory hooks them up this way. Airstream doesn't make the cables overly long; I hope you have enough extra length on yours to make the change.

Thanks! It was always set up this way but we bought it used. I'll switch the around.

I was told they can only be bought through a dealer. I ordered mine from from the parts department at Colonial Airstream in Lakewood, NJ. They are relatively inexpensive at about $3 per plus shipping.
I was not informed of the part number.
So there is no link but I hope that helps.

They are held in place with friction (at least I hope that holds them in place :-) ).
The fit is not extremely tight but I don't see them blowing off. But someone could remove them relatively easily.

They are basically a removable form of "plastidip" but much easier to apply.

Pepwave Surf SOHO wifi booster from the 3G store - arrived in less than a week, easy to set up after watching their video online and now we have a useable signal inside the Airstream that all of our devices can connect to including our smart TV to stream Netflix. Attached to a neighbor's fiber optic internet connection ( that he so graciously allows us to use when we visit)- went from 1 to 2 bars with the laptop having to be "just so" in the window - now we have no problems connecting to it....unsure how it will work in a campground, but we are very pleased so far in this application.

We finally bought a grill. The Weber Q 1000, and promptly made grilled BBQ Chicken Pizza with it.
I love it, just the right size for our family and needs.

Looks great! Do you power it via a low-pressure propane hose from the trailer, or does it run on its own canister?

For now it's own canister, but I was thinking of powering it via a hose from the Airstream.

You can get a two outlet with 90 degree angle device for the large propane tanks and then a hose that plugs directly into the Weber. This does not use the gas outlet at hitch level. I found a 25' hose while at CanAm last week for this system. Valve described seen at Camping World as well.

Lou,
Any chance of a picture of the set-up?

I got 2 New back up lights and a new lens for the porch light for the 66 that we'll be picking up tomorrow...I really need a list of everything we need to take with us..it had been stored it's whole life (never seen the road) until 6yrs ago when the now 91 yr old PO, took it to a small retirement park in Florida and lived in it. Does anyone know what size tires it may need? They looked great but would feel more comfortable with a spare and we didn't look at the size while we were there...66 Landyacht Overlander International.
