Beautiful trailer!
Check with your local propane dealer. They usually sell regulators.

If you can't find a flyer you can try this link. https://www.bradsdeals.com/coupons/stein-mart
Here is a link to the silverware at Steinmart. You can do a search to see which stores have them.

Thank you. This modification has been a big help to this old man. To follow up, purchased an extra waterproof bag to cover the hitch head. I also use one on the power jack. The receiver has now been spray painted with Pewter Gray.

I might have to surrender my man card, but I bought some new dishes.
I thought the mixture of left overs from the MH was due for an upgrade, so I got a few. Didn't buy the set because I hate throwing away the tiny saucers and coffee cups.
Thought these went well with the FC interior.
Stuck with Corelle and although you can get pieces on e-bay, they're less expensive directly from Corelle due to shipping.

Nah, we’ll let you keep the card. A man’s gotta eat grilled steaks off of something that will keep the food off the ground.

Hang it lower to the ground in a sketchy campground, and someone will surely mate with it overnight.

I already have a pair of Zip Dee chairs with the grey fabric to match the airstream, but when I saw these blue vintage ones on Craigslist I could not resist. They match my truck perfectly!
I have since cleaned them up. They work great, match the truck and my cooler! lol!
$75 for the pair, very happy!!

There “may” have been a couple of times when I connected my black water hose to the wrong port on the airstream and instead of activating the black flush I ended up filling my water tank. This may have happened. Not admitting to anything here. It is possible that it might of occurred . In the past. [emoji51]
Well I stole/adapted an idea from the guys over on the sprinter van forum - use quick connects and mark them so that it’s easy to identify which hose goes where!
I plan on using these hose quick connects and finding a way to color code them so that I never connect my black hose to my drinking water fill port! I mean really who wants to drink water contaminated with poo bits... [emoji15]
Here are the quick connects I plan on using, less than $9...

Also because someone asked elsewhere, here are the two hoses I use:
Zero-G black hose, they have multiple lengths:

Zero-G blue hose which I use for drinking water:

I now carry 150' of 0-G in the space that 50' of the white took up. A lot less weight and easy to handle also.

Always liked these theoretical “It could possibly happen — but of course never did because that would be silly” scenarios.

We are getting ready for our longest trip ever in the Airstream. I got out out HaulGuage to use when we hook up and it occurred to me to post the info here.
What is it? Here is a link to the post talking about it :
http://www.airforums.com/forums/f142...d2-192787.html
And here is the link to Amazon where I purchased it:
https://amzn.to/2LLObij
My take on the HaulGuage - it is useful but not 100% accurate. It takes relative measurements and I believe helps to make sure you WD hitch is doing its job. Not a replacement for getting out the scales but also better than nothing at all. It does give me a better feeling before we leave. YMMV.

Got 2 of these 1200 lumen USB rechargeable flashlights [emoji363] for about $21.00, great value. Nice and small, can focus them, recharge them and man they are bright! Very helpful when hooking up at night.

I picked up the last pieces for the Caravel that were powder coated.
I just may finish the bathroom today.
This is huge. For me.

A few years ago it came down to two different patterns off the Corelle website for my bride. She couldn’t make up her mind so I ordered them both, one for home and the other for our Airstream. I think it added a little class to an already classy trailer.
