Sorry for the late reply! I purchased the Corian from a local shop, the plywood from Rockler Woodworking. $398 for the Corian, adhesive & gun. Another $60 for 1/2” Baltic birch plywood. ...another $15 in calk & hardware. ...I already own all the tools & router bits.

This is the other end of the spectrum. O-rings for the TPMS.
I needed to change batteries in my great TST TPMS. So I went online and found that TST is happy to sell me a set of 6 O-rings, 6 valve core gaskets, and 6 tiny screws for $9. This seemed kinda steep, but it's an RV. I baulked when the shipping was $7.50!!! This for a baggie that's about 2" on a side? I already paid $300 for your unit, cut me some slack. No.
I ended up buying a set from TechnoRV that probably cost more, but shipping was less. Then I went to some forums and found that the O-rings are an 11 mm x 1mm. and I can buy a package of 100 from Amazon for $8. So I did. I'll be O-ring rich!
I want to compare the 'official' O-rings to the generic ones and I'll report back so perhaps you'll want to buy the cheapest.
Some people said they didn't use any O-rings and had no problem.
It's on!

Removed the bedroom TV, plugged the holes from the mount... then added some command hooks so we can hang jackets, sweaters, towels and whatever else...
Easier to get around the bed without the TV sticking out from the wall...

Do you have a picture with the sink exposed?

Finally bought a replacement for the anaconda airstream-issued 50 amp power cord.
I had thought about getting one last year, but we passed since technically the huge one worked fine.
After camping 2 weeks ago in cold and damp, hubby finally relented and said he had enough and to get the different cord.
It seems to take up about ⅓ of the space of the anaconda.

Caddy for Tow Vehicle Power Cord
A couple of friends of mine have attached something similar to their frame or propane cover to store their tow vehicle power cord. I thought it was a great idea to protect your connection from the elements. This one has no connections in the cap. It is merely a cover to keep your connections clean and dry. It has the same type cover and connection as when you connect your trailer to the TV.
Sorry for the sideways pic. Couldn't figure out how to correct it.

I got two of these little electric scooters for our trailer today. They fold down nicely, and they weigh a little over 40 lbs. each. They’re Segway Ninebot Kickscooter MAX scooters. They’ll be great for cruising around campgrounds, cruising short distances to shop or eat, etc. I’ll fold them down and keep them inside the trailer on the center aisle while towing.

I have been seriously looking at those and almost purchased them last year but then when covid hit and we wouldn't be able to get out in town we decided not to. They're on my list for the future though.

Spotted a failed / spraying vacuum breaker on the shower hose. $20.00 next day Amazon. From this was able to notice the spray was hitting directly on the hidden interior backer press board and Shub shower cartridge which seals were yellowed, aged and separating. Could even see daylight through to the toilet with a closer study.
Cleaned, with alcohol, dried and Applied fresh GE Shower clear silicone beads all the way up and across the bottom seams and press board wrap which should hold it for another 10+ years.
This vaccum breaker fail allowed us to notice the bigger sealing hidden issues brewing so glad to have had this failure in retrospect.

I installed my new flagpole mount on the Airstream over the weekend. I bought it from airforums member sandlapper. I’m very pleased with it!

Finally put in new illuminated-when-on switches for the hot water heater. An easy install - there’s a ground (-) there already for the light in the middle that I spliced into.

We emptied the piggy bank this week...new tires for Blanch, our FC27FBQ, and for our TV. Installed a wall mount fan in the bedroom, purchased a Midland weather alert radio and a Camco aluminum step so we don't have to unfold the AS bottom step anymore. Now ready for our three month trip this July to Bryce Canyon, Colorado and Angle Fire NM.
