Installed a larger fire extinguisher to replace the tiny one Airstream installed.

What size did you get and do you have a picture? Sounds like that's the size I want to get.

We got our girl a couple of hats for the holidays. The new Fantastic Fan Roof Covers are an update that we wanted, since we saw a set on a 23 at JC.

They should let us ventilate the trailer when it rains. Now we just need to find a camp site with a bit of rain to test out the install.

A piece at a time. Happy Holidays to all. Pat

Bold is it a riddle?

Mine have them too. I think it's a power indicator. Try turning fan switch off and or speed switch to 0.
Not in mine at this time.

Sabatier Expandable Dish Rack

Got this fancy-pants dish rack from Costco. The tray slides out to double the area, there is a little rack that holds 3 inverted wine glasses to dry, and the cutlery basket comes off too.

Got mine in the store. Looks like they are selling well; website is sold out.

Daughter liked it--said it is even AS colors.

Do any of you use a winter cover for your Airstream?

New Furnace Fan motor

Old furnace fan motor has been HOWLING!!! I suppose you guys heard. :roll eyes:

Well, rather than pay nearly $200 for the motor, I found it for under $60. I then removed old, installed new..

Total time, including distractions was about 3.5 hours...

So I added 1 of the GS100 panels. This brings me up to 505 watts on the roof. Didn't realize how long the 135w panels are until seen from above. I guess I'd forgotten.

I plan on getting two more of the GS100 panels to build a ground deploy. But I'm tempted to buy a third panel and have 605 watts on the roof. There is empty space.
