No, you leave it in an outlet (it's really small) and you can see the voltage anytime. I got it to see how park power varies.

I bought the same voltage tester a few months ago. (actually 2 of them) I plugged it in and set my ammeter up next to it on the same outlet. The voltage was off by 4 volts on one, and 2 volts on the other, so I opened up the units and adjusted it to match my ammeter. It was fine for a bit, but is now off again by a few volts. Not a big deal though, as it makes for a cool quick reference of what is going on electrically and also makes a neat night light.

Just curious if you could take a picture of the gas strut as it is installed. I could not figure out how to attach a gas strut to hold up the mirror but would really like to do the same.
Thank you,

Bob, I’ve got a photo of it, but I can’t post it here because after the photobucket fiasco I have not joined any more sharing sites. I can post it on Facebook at the Airstream addicts page if you like, but that might be easy to miss. Or I can post it on my Facebook page. (Mike Wonder) Or if you want to pm your email I can send the picture directly to you. Other than that...it was a fairly simple install, the biggest issue is the bathroom is pretty tight, ie. The wife holding up the door and me drilling pilot holes for the screws.
Mike

I too learned to hate Photobucket.
However, I gave IMGUR a try and after a year or so I haven't had any problems....knock on wood.
BTW, there's a second way to post photos without hosting them.
You have to be in "Go Advanced"; look for the paperclip icon (attachments),
and follow the instructions. Just as easy as hosting, except attachments always come after the text. Usually that's not a problem if you don't want to add text after images.
Hint: Don't forget the "upload" box. For some reason it's almost off the dialogue box so I have to look for it.
It's very handy if you don't want to tie up your hosting software with a one time picture.

I must be missing something.
Why can’t you just upload the photo as an attachment to your reply? That has worked for me.

So since was raining yesterday and we had been wanting to get a few things for the Airstream we went shopping. We ended up getting a mattress topper for our mattress. Going to try it before deciding to go all out on a new one since we only do long weekend trips currently. The full matress topper seemed to be closely sized for our '05 Safari SS corner bed. We will have to trim just a little at the rounded part. Also just a little bit short but putting that at the top where the pillows are, so shouldn't notice it to much.
Also got a collapsible strainer from IKEA, over the door hangers. (Which we will remove when traveling so it doesn't scratch anything) Will have to add a little extra Cushing because the hanger part is wider than the door but will be an easy fix. Figured out that they can hang under the cabinets as well so we can dry things over the bed or the couch when one those aren't in use. Also got these shoe racks that easily collapse so when we are traveling they don't bounce around. But they fit really good at the door for the '05 Safari.
We got this ottoman at Costco shortly after we got the trailer. We wanted something to kick up our feet on while lounging on the couch. It fits nicely "behind" the dinette when not in use. Or you can completely collapse it down if you just need more room. You can store a few extra things in it as well.
The other thing I find really handy to carry is the Flylady Rubber scrubber. It is great for cleaning off sand from stuff or debris that has fallen overnight on stuff. It is soft so it doesn't damage things. Here is the link... http://shop.flylady.net/p/(RUB). And her purple rags work wonders on cleaning things with no steaks. They are great because you don't have to use chemicals. Haven't tried it on the outside of the Airstream yet but they are soft enough to use on eye glasses so I don't think it would be a issue. Works great for wiping down windows! Here is the link... http://shop.flylady.net/p/(RAG-BOGO)

ordered parts for my fridge. the Previous Owner accidentally damaged the freezer door (ordered 6 parts) and all the 3 bins were missing which are ordered. To my dismay each bin cost $39! I also ordered 2 compartment door locks, (had to order 2 so I would only use one key not two.) also ordered cabinet door catch w/striker. Wish I have those before I go camping tomorrow at KOA in Santa Paula. My wife and I will bike from Ventura to Ojai and back.
